Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Not only for developmental biology, this course provides a theoretical and practical understanding of microscopy and digital imaging in biosciences research. Main topics to be covered:
Physical and theoretical principles of light microscopy
Fundamental concepts of images and imaging science
Theory of color perception and representation
Theoretical and computational principles of digital images
Elementary image filtering and manipulation
3D image representation and display
Selected 3D image acquisition methods
Using image data in scientific publications
Managing and archiving scientific images

Additional topics may be covered according to students' interests. The course format is an interactive seminar with lectures, discussion, and in-class exercises.

Assessment and permitted materials

Discussion of homework exercises, individual short presentations of assigned topics, and in-class practical work.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Evaluation is based on attendance and participation (50%) and completion of homework assignments (50%). Attendance is required: two absences (excused or unexcused) will be allowed before your grade is affected (approx. 1 grade point per additional absence).

There will be weekly reading and homework assignments, some of which will include a written assignment to be collected or discussed in class. These will be graded and will account for 1/2 of the final mark.

Examination topics

Class participation, homework assignments, in-class exercises, presentations (no exam).

Reading list

Weekly reading assignments of scientific papers, and other selected resources on scientific imaging and microscopy.
