• Advanced course Correlative Light Electron Microscopy

  22 to 27 June 2017
  Utrecht – Netherlands

  In the workshop we offer a balanced “mix” of lectures and practical sessions. The entire workflow from specimen to fluorescent image to immune-labeled ultrathin section will be dealt with. Under guidance of the skilled staff of the Utrecht Cell Microscopy Core Life cell CLEM and Section CLEM including the complete Tokuyasu technique will be practiced and explained to the finest detail. Biological samples and immuno-reagents will be available. The program is meant for people that already have experience in cryosectioning and immunolabeling and want to extend their expertise into CLEM. We provide an excellent learning environment. When manual skills like ultrathin cryo-sectioning are being trained the participants will have their own ultra-cryo microtome (often equipped with a camera) to practice on. The number of participants is limited to 10 people. We will provide you with a practical manual covering the topics of the course.

• CCEM Summer School on Electron Microscopy

  05 to 09 June 2017
  McMaster University – Canada

  The Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy would like to announce its 2017 Summer School on Electron Microscopy.

  Each year the Centre welcomes participants from around the world to the McMaster University campus in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada for an advanced school on electron microscopy.

  The course runs over five days and aims to provide students with advice in solving characterization problems using advanced electron microscopy techniques. With the help of experts, users with experience in electron microscopy learn about the fundamentals of aberration-corrected imaging, electron energy loss spectroscopy, electron tomography, ultimate physical limits (beam damage and resolution) and the use of aberration-corrected electron microscopes.

  There are many opportunities for hands-on training on the alignment and operation of the electron microscopes with experts from the microscope and spectrometer companies. Several hands-on data processing sessions are also organised.

• “Transmission electron microscopy in life sciences” Course

  28 November 2016
  Institute of Molecular Genetics – Prague – Czech Republic

  The course "Transmission Electron Microscopy in Life Sciences" is aimed at beginners and intermediate users of transmission electron microscopes in biomedicine. It will devote about equal time to the theory and to practical use of microscopes. The course is limited to 15 participants and during practical sessions the participants will be divided into three groups. The techniques discussed at theoretical sessions will be demonstrated on three transmission electron microscopes of varying complexity - the simplest Morgagni, more complex Philips CM 100 and the most powerful Tecnai T20. After the course, the participants should understand the principles of construction and function of transmission electron microscopes, should be able to align the microscope for optimal performance, to identify and eliminate most common aberrations and alignment artifacts, to understand the principles of image generation in transmission electron microscopy, and to identify optimal ways of image acquisition. The participants will be also given up-to-date information about best ways of sample preparation for transmission electron microscopy, and about recent transmission electron microscopy trends in biomedicine. Participants are encouraged to bring their own samples on 3.05 mm TEM grids. There will be ample opportunity for the participants to discuss their specific problems with the faculty.

  The course will be taught in English.

• TissueGnostics symposium

  17 to 20 November 2016
  Obergurgl – Tyrol – Austria

  Our focus is on Advanced Digital Microscopy and Image Analysis, its role in revolutionizing clinical diagnostics and in implementing the personalized medicine concept. It is to provide insight in the state of research and technology in an invigorating and stimulating environment – a university seminar centre in Obergurgl (1.930 meters altitude) in the Tyrol, a stone´s throw from Italian Southern Tyrol province (if one can throw high enough over the surrounding peaks, many of which are in the 3.500 meter range).

  Surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery of the university seminar centre in Obergurgl, Tyrol, Austria, the congress will also be an excellent opportunity to get the essential information on our products and latest developments. We will be present with 3 demosystems and of course you will have the possibility to work with our TissueFAXS systems.We expect speakers from Singapore to the USA to Europe will provide the participants with elaborate information on the latest technology, the use of it and personal experiences from their workfields.

  We invite authors to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations.
