[3dem] 4th UVM Practical Course on 3D EM of Single Particles

[Michael Radermacher]

Dear all,

We are happy to announce the 

                       4th UVM Practical Course 
on Three-dimensional Cryo Electron Microscopy of Single Particles 
                           August 2-9 2009,
               University of Vermont, Burlington, VT 

This international course will teach the principles of three-dimensional
reconstruction of single particles from cryo electron micrographs. The course
will include in-depth lectures of the basic theoretical principles of single
particle analysis, discussions and demonstrations of experimental procedures,
and six hours per day of hands-on processing of data sets from electron
micrographs of single particles. 
Participants will work in groups of two. Each group will have one instructor,
who will provide step-by-step guidance through the complete three-dimensional
reconstruction process and offer additional explanations and support. The course
aims to provide participants with a strong practical and theoretical background
that will enable them later to use these techniques in their home laboratory.
