Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy 2022

An international course in fluorescence microscopy and imaging for advanced graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, imaging core managers and researchers at all levels who are incorporating the technology into their laboratories.

Overview

NOTE: The 2022 QFM course roster is currently full. Please submit your application to our waitlist. The 2022 waitlist will be the first to be considered for QFM 2023.

This one-week intensive microscopy course will cover all aspects of the technology from the principles of fluorescence imaging to multidimensional imaging in living cells. Lectures dealing with the theory, mechanics, and application of fluorescent imaging methods will be intermingled with extended laboratory practicals in which students will be encouraged to use their own specimens to optimize the utility of the course.

A signature component of this course is the availability of microscopy equipment and teaching representatives from leading manufacturers.

Our goal is to provide students with the knowledge and expertise to implement cutting-edge microscopic methods within their own laboratories.

This is a popular course which fills quickly, do not delay in submitting an application!
