CNWY40170 Fundamental Biological Imaging
About the course
Designed for students who wish to understand and become critically aware of the basic principles, practice and applications of rapidly developing imaging technologies.
Credits ECTS 2.5
Dates October 24th – 26th 2012
Schedule 10 hours of lectures (mornings) plus practical workshops (afternoons)
Module co-ordinator Professor Jeremy Simpson
Venue UCD Conway Institute
Registration Open Deadline: October 17th 2012

Course structure
The module will be delivered over 3 days in 10 x 1 hour lectures/seminars (mornings) with associated practical sessions (afternoons)
Credit requirements
You will have satisfactory attendance and will complete a presentation-based assignment.
What does it cover?
- Principles of microscopy
- Staining and contrasting of samples
- Histochemistry, immunohistochemistry
- Wide-field microscopy
- Confocal microscopy
- High content screen microscopy
- Live cell imaging
- Electron microscopy
Why enrol?
Particular focus is given to white and fluorescent light-based imaging approaches. A series of lectures will inform about the concepts of imaging and microscopy; application of histology, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence; basics of wide-field microscopy, confocal microscopy and high content screening microscopy; techniques in light microscopy and live cell imaging; and also the relationship between light microscopy and electron microscopy. Structured practical sessions will also allow the students to gain first-hand experience in the operation of various pieces of microscopy equipment.
