2004 IMOD Software Workshop

[Eileen O'Toole]

The Boulder Laboratory for 3-D Electron Microscopy of Cells will be 
holding a tomography software workshop July 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th , 
2004. The workshop is designed to teach investigators the IMOD software 
package developed in our lab, with an emphasis on plastic section 
reconstruction. The four-day course will include lectures introducing 
participants to tomography, alignment methods, and dual-axis 
tomography. Demonstrations on specimen preparation and preparing grids 
for tomography will be presented.  Participants will have hands-on 
experience with data acquisition, and will learn the IMOD software 
package using sample data sets provided by the lab as well as data 
acquired in practice sessions. Trouble shooting strategies for 
problematic data sets and tips on modeling tomographic data will also 
be presented.  Special topics including large area reconstruction, 
serial section tomography, and cryotomography will also be covered.

The workshop is limited to 14 participants. More than one applicant per 
lab will be considered only if there is space remaining. There is no 
fee for academic participants in the workshop, but participants need to 
cover travel and lodging expenses.  Applications are due April 19, 
2004. Send application to:

			Ms. Linda Batlin
			Email:  Linda.Batlin at Colorado.edu

Please include a brief description of:
1. Level of expertise with tomography (beginner, intermediate, 
advanced).
2. Field of study.
3. Experience with the IMOD package.
4. If you have a reasonably powerful laptop computer that you would be 
willing to use for the course work (indicate type and speed).
