Diverse microscopy tools and techniques enable a unique insight into biological processes at the cellular level. To successfully integrate microscopy in your lab routine, understanding the mechanism of optical microscopy is essential.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003ECourse Description\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis workshop will provide a practical guide on how to use optical microscopy in the natural and life sciences. It will give participants the necessary tools to design, conduct, and analyze light microscopy experiments, particularly\u0026nbsp;bright-field and fluorescence (confocal) microscopy. It will also enable you to better evaluate microscopy data presented in the scientific literature. Finally, you will learn about the microscopy core facility at Georgia Tech, so you can immediately start to plan and discuss your own experiments.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe workshop is suitable for any (undergrad\/grad) student or postdoc at the beginner to intermediate level in optical microscopy.
