At this year's nanocourse we will discuss with you the full range of an imaging process. In the basic part, we will cover sample preparation, concepts of image acquisition and processing. In the advanced part, we will discuss automation and analysis strategies, statistics and how these interact with each other within smart microscopy approaches.
The workshop program will be composed of lectures, discussions and fun tasks by the team of the MPIMG Imaging Facility. We would like to encourage you to be an active part of the event and to participate accordingly.
Number of participants: max. 20
