Info

Directors

Paolo Bianchini ,
Alberto Diaspro

Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genova, Italy

A limited number of students (approx. 40) will be admitted in order to have no more than 3/4 students for each instrument or set-up.

On November 27th, Lectures will be open access starting from 2,30 pm ending at 7,30 pm. All together dinner for invited speakers, students and instructors will be offered at 8 pm.

Basic courses will be included for students on:

Confocal, Image scanning microscopy (ISM) and STED; STORM, d-STORM; Live cell imaging; 2-photon and FLIM/FRET; Fast volumetric imaging and particle tracking; Expansion Microscopy.

Starting from November 28th we will have tutorials and practical sessions. On December 1st we will end at lunch time.

Program

Tutorials and Practical workshop

Please note that this is a closed session for registered students.

Each student should choose his favorite course and the corresponding group. We will try to satisfy all the requests. However, the maximum number of students per group is 4. Once assigned to a group, students cannot exchange them. Each group will attend eight "hands on" lessons in eight different instruments as shown in the programme.
