Imaging interactions with fluorescence: from the nano-to-macro scale
Learn about the latest techniques to explore biological systems at different length and depth scales, both at the descriptive and quantitative level. This microscopy workshop aims to elucidate the working principles of several optical techniques and to get you a flavor of what is currently possible.

Content
What you will learn?
- an intro to microscopy, including aberrations and artifacts in multicolor microscopy.
- an intro to methods that quantify molecular interactions, from simple co-localization analysis to the state of the art in super-resolution or whole-organism imaging.
- applications of the different methods to research questions from the life sciences
What will you practice?
- Different hands-on sessions on fluctuation spectroscopy (FCS, RICS, ICS), light sheet microscopy, super-resolution (PALM/STORM/SOFI/SIM), fluorescence lifetime & anisotropy imaging
- Advanced data analysis with different user-friendly packages for FLIM, FCS/RICS, SOFI, SIM analysis
Additional info:
This workshop is organized back-to-back with the ‘Specialist Course on Light and Fluorescence Microscopy’, organized by Ghent University from the 3rd till the 5th (noon) of September (2018) in Ghent, and which covers all the basics of fluorescence microscopy in detail.
