Microscopy course in Bangalore, India, March 1-7 2009

Nico Stuurman-4
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!
