High Content Imaging 2019
12 February 2019
University of Nottingham – United Kingdom
High content imaging (HCI) involves automated collection and analysis of images to provide quantitative data on a range of functional and morphological changes in cells, spheroids or organoids. It has become widely used as a tool for, amongst other things, screening of drug candidates, fragments, RNAi and miR. This meeting is aimed at introducing the power of HCI to PhD students, early career researchers and academics who are new to HCI or would like to increase their understanding of the technique. It will cover experimental requirements, image collection techniques and analysis in high content imaging, as well as example applications for this approach. Major suppliers of HCI software and analysis will also demonstrate applications and uses of their software.

Transmission Electron Microscopy for Materials Science (online course)
17 January 2019
In this course, we provide a comprehensive introduction to TEM, including:

- the instrument and its optics

- the basics of electron diffraction and dynamical scattering

- the theory of phase contrast imaging.

Built from the ground up, the course is intended to be a starting point for understanding and working with TEM; to be used either as a stand alone resource, or in complement to books and in person teaching or coaching. We hope that it proves useful to our electron microscopy community, and look forward to receiving any feedback.

NOTE: Being a virtual course it is not tied to any particular date (a participant can register and start at any time).
