Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The topic of this course is a project of ultrastructural research. Following the motto "learning by doing" emphasis is put on teaching the fundamental methods of electron microscopy and the presentation of the scientific results (poster, paper). At the end of this intensive three weeks course students are qualified to tackle a problem in ultrastructural research and to use the instruments of the electron microscopy laboratory.

Assessment and permitted materials

Workshop 20%, protocol 20%, poster 20%, review of relevant literature 20%, oral examination 20%

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Ability to work on a project in ultrastructural research. Choice of suitable methods, presentation of the results as poster and oral, as well as discussion of the results in a workshop. At the end of the course the participants are qualified to work as electronmicroscopists and they have the fundamental knowhow for the interpretation of structures (as seen in the electron microscopes).

Examination topics

TEM: Ultramicrotomes, sectioning (SD and UD), fixation, dehydration, embedding, knife production, staining,
SEM: CP - drying, sputter - coating
