Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Our "Live Imaging Course" will for the first time shine in an refurbished format: The course is extended to three days and more attendees will be allowed as we stockpiled the teaching personnel capacity. New will be a live superresolution microscopy experience , as well as a session dedicated on handling and processing data from live imaging experiments.
The Live Imaging workshop intends to give students a theoretical and practical input on important considerations of live imaging using advanced light microscopic technologies, like confocal, spinning disc, fluorescence widefield, high-content and even superresolution imaging microscopy.
Two basic lectures:
- Lecture 1: Live Imaging Considerations
- Lecture 2: Live Imaging Dyes and Fluorophores

Extensive hands-on planning of overnight and individual shorter time lapse experiments using various available microscope setups.
An afternoon is dedicated to give expert advice on how to handle live imaging data - this will include selected examples as well as insight into advanced processing pipelines, including aspects of Artificial Intelligence.

Assessment and permitted materials

Continuous Assessment

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students shall learn the theoretical background of imaging in a live regimen. This includes knowledge on instrumental and technological theory, combined with considerations on practical do's and don'ts. The latter shall finally be applied in extended practical hands-on-sessions using different live microscopy setups. Eminently important is to prepare students for handling the data with respect to size, processing and analyses.

Examination topics

a. Students will understand the theory behind basic and advanced light microscopy technologies
b. Students will get a deeper insight into the applicative potential of diverse light microscopy techniques for live imaging
c. Students will learn to transfer knowledge on microscopy hardware and fluorescent molecule selection into an experimental realization
d. Students will learn to critically review, troubleshoot and/or optimize live imaging experiments
e. Students will learn and work in cooperative teams
f. Students will get a comprehensive picture by being introduced into data management
