A volunteer and collaborative effort to bring information about shared microscopy facilities to the University of Arizona and the community.

Free LCI microscopy course (virtual, Jan 28-Feb 13, 2025)

It is my pleasure to invite you to follow, online, free of charge and without registration, the LCI facility microscopy course Microscopy: improve your imaging skills - from sample preparation to image analysis. The public program starts on Tuesday next week (28th of Jan) and runs until the 13th of February.

As usual, all lectures are broadcasted live on Zoom and posted on Youtube<https://www.youtube.com/@Livecellimagingfacility/videos> every day, for the benefit of our far-away colleagues.

The aim for this course is to improve the microscopy skills of students and researchers who have already used a microscope to acquire digital images of fluorescent samples but feel that more knowledge could help them.

Here is a selection of what we will talk about:

* Optics and image formation,
* How microscopes work
* Objectives and refraction index
* Cameras and detectors, Noise and background, Bit depth and saturation
* Sample preparation, Immunostaining, Clearing
* Resolution and contrast, Nyquist sampling, how to choose microscope settings
* Data handling, how to make article figures, Requirements for image analysis, Colocalization, Ethics
* Image processing and analysis

Check our course webpage<https://ki.se/en/bionut/lci-microscopy-course> to see the course schedule (Broadcasted activities are in blue) and the Zoom link. Here<https://doctoralcourses.application.ki.se/fubasextern/info?kurs=H7F2870> is a full description of the course. Tucson note: Stockholm Sweden is 8hrs ahead of our time zone. Unless you time delay the presentations via the YouTube recordings, it will be very early here in Arizona.

Scroll down to read the kind testimonies of our dear students! :)

We hope that you will enjoy the LCI facility online microscopy course!
Kindly forward to anyone who might be interested.
