EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM:
A primary goal of the NIC@QB3 is to provide training in basic and advanced light microscopy techniques. The NIC@QB3 will be involved in graduate level courses available to students at UCSF.
In addition, the NIC@QB3 will periodically teach workshops and courses on microscopy that are open to everyone at no charge. Contact the NIC if you are interested in a paticular subject.
Selected Workshop Course Topics:
- Basic Light Microscopy
- Fluorescence Microscopy
- Confocal Microscopy
- Digital Image Acquisition
- Transmitted Light Techniques
- Fluorescent Proteins and Live Cell Imaging
- Cameras
- Digital Image Analysis
- Designing a Microscopy Experiment
