Microscopy and instrumental methods in biology
This course overviews modern measurements and imaging techniques used in biophysics, molecular and cell biology. Its main goal is to teach students about the capabilities and limitations of each of the most popular techniques, and explain how to select the simplest and the most effective approach to answer a particular experimental question. Practical works will include a complete workflow of processing real experimental datasets from fluorescence and CD experiments, planning chromatography experiments, advanced work with fluorescence microscopy images using ImageJ and Pyton
Registration is open and will be possible until April 23. (closed)
