Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture series deals with a general introduction to electron microscopy in life sciences, with an introduction to the techniques of scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as accompanying instruments, an introduction to the methods of preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy, and the application of these methods to special biological objects and current topics or projects.This lecture aims at awakening the students' interest in this wide field of biological scientific research possibilities and to show the facilities at our faculty. A guided tour through the Core Facility Cell Imaging and Ultratructure Research is possible. It should also serve as preparatory teaching and as overview for the many practical courses that are offered in our Core Facility for deepening knowledge and practical application of the special techniques.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written examination at the end of the term ( see official exam dates published in u:space). As before the pandemic the exam will be held in the form of a question catalogue, for which a number of points are distributed. We can evaluate your knowledge and understanding of the matter by your answers to about 15 questions covering the whole of the lecture topics.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

We can evaluate your knowledge and understanding of the matter by your answers to about 15 questions covering the whole of the lecture topics. For a positive result you must reach at least half of the possible points!

Examination topics

For a good understanding of the matter it is essential to be present during the lectures. We offer our Power-Point presentations for your study. The topics for the exam cover history of electron microscopy, the cell in the electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, sample preparation methods, cryo-preparation, element -analysis with SEM(EDX), element- analysis with TEM (EELS/ESI), sample preparation for element- analysis. immunolabelling, 3D- methods for EM, model organisms, projects.

Reading list

The scripts and literature will be offered via moodle or Email.
