Courses
The BioDIP team aims not only to provide service on a day to day basis within the facilities, but also to supply more in-depth education on the basics of imaging, microscopy and image analysis. To this end, courses are offered ranging from one-day workshops to week long intensive courses. These cover the whole spectrum of knowledge from basic light and electron microscopy, through high content screening, to more advanced imaging techniques and image processing.
The courses are aimed at participants with varying experience levels: Some are mainly tailored for Ph.D. and master students, while others are open to the entire research community.
Here, you will find an overview of previously held courses, and/or those offered on a regular basis.
In some cases it will also be possible to register directly here for upcoming courses.
Supported by Peter Evennett, member of the Royal Microscopical Society and teacher of microscopy for several decades, the LMF team aims to provide a principal understanding of how microscopes and the associated techniques work. Numerous hands-on sessions alternating with exciting lectures make this course an unmissable learning experience.
The course is mainly opened to the PhD students of the DIGS-BB programme, but there are occasionally also a few slots available for the rest of the community. The course runs full time from Monday morning to Friday afternoon.
This EMBO Practical Course was held for the first time at the MPI-CBG in August 2014.
It comprehensively introduced the light sheet microscopy paradigm to the new generation of scientists. This interdisciplinary course aimed to introduce participants to the entire range of techniques associated with various aspects of light-sheet microscopy, including: microscope assembly, sample preparation, data acquisition, image processing, image data analysis, and information technology of data handling.

This is a course on the basic principles of microscopy that is taught by the LMF team as part of the TU Dresden master course "Regenerative Biology and Medicine". The course runs full time from Monday morning until Friday afternoon, offering fascinating lectures and several hands-on sessions.
This is a course on the basic principles of electron microscopy as well as sample preparation for EM that is taught by the EMH team as part of the TU Dresden master course "Regenerative Biology and Medicine". The course runs full time from Monday morning until Friday afternoon, offering lectures and 3 experiments (sample preparation for SEM, epon embedding for TEM, immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling for correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM)) to generate samples for hands-on imaging (SEM, TEM, CLEM).
