Teaching

Tailored 1-on-1 sessions (or small groups of up to 3 participants) are offered on demand following a project discussion to identify the most suitable microscope and define the specific training needs within our Core Facility. These personalized trainings are designed to provide hands-on experience directly at the selected microscope, using your own research samples. The goal is to ensure that users gain practical skills and confidence in operating the instrument and acquiring high-quality data relevant to their project. This focused approach allows for in-depth learning and immediate application of techniques in a real experimental context.

This annual workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of image processing and analysis using ImageJ, a powerful open-source software widely used in the life sciences. Participants will learn how to handle biological image data, apply common analysis workflows, and interpret results effectively. The course includes both theoretical background and practical exercises, making it suitable for beginners and those looking to strengthen their skills. It is open to up to 30 participants and can be attended either remotely or in person.

Held once a year, this workshop offers a broad overview of the fundamental principles of microscopy, including topics such as optics, contrast mechanisms, resolution, and fluorescence. It is designed to help participants build a solid foundation for using various microscopy techniques effectively in their research. The workshop combines theoretical lectures with interactive discussions to support both newcomers and those seeking to refresh their knowledge. Up to 30 participants can join, with the flexibility to attend either remotely or on site.
