Dear Colleagues,
I would like to let you know about a one week microscopy course that I
am involved in organizing at the National Center for Biological
Sciences (NCBS) in Bangalore, India (co-sponsored by NCBS and 100X
Imaging, Inc.). This course, which provides didactic and hands-on
training in a variety of light microscopy techniques, is taught by
outstanding international leaders in microscopy (see below). The
course is supported by the major microscopy and camera vendors and
will be in held in first-rate teaching labs and microscopy facilities
at the NCBS. The course will make extensive use of Micro-Manager.
The course is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows
(although an advanced undergraduate or faculty member also would be
welcome).
Our hope is that this will become an annual course, similar to the
Advanced Quantitative Light Microscopy course at the MBL, Woods Hole
and the EMBO microscopy workshops. The focus will be primarily on
attracting top students from Asian countries, however, the course is
open to participants from everywhere, so we hope that you can
recommend this course to interested students!
