Every other year, the Microspectroscopy Research Facility of Wageningen University & Research organises a FEBS advanced practical course on fluorescence microspectroscopy for young scientists and PhD students.
The course is organised in collaboration with Dr. Koen van den Dries of Radboud Technology Center Microscopy and with Dr. Y. Stahl and our GerBI Chair woman Dr. S. Weidtkamp-Peters from Goethe University (Frankfurt) and Heinrich Heine University (Düsseldorf), Germany, respectively.
Event Date & Location
18-24 May 2025
Fletcher conference centre, Wageningen, The Netherlands
Program
During this course, you will learn different microscopy techniques for studying biological processes in living cells. Microspectroscopic applications are the methods of choice because direct information on molecular interactions and dynamic events involving biomolecules is obtained with minimal perturbation of cellular integrity and function.
The course will cover the following functional imaging techniques:
Confocal microscopy, Multiphoton microscopy, Photo-activatable imaging, Single particle tracking, Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, Super-Resolution and Correlative Microscopy, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), FRET imaging techniques, Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), and Fluorescence recovery after Photobleaching (FRAP)
