[3dem] 1st UB Practical course on Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Vitreous Sections (CEMOVIS)

[Benoit Zuber]

We are pleased to announce the

1^st UB Practical course

on Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Vitreous Sections (CEMOVIS)

20-24 June 2010

University of Bern, Switzerland

Organisers : Daniel Studer & Benoît Zuber

Invited speakers: Jacques Dubochet (University of Lausanne), Helmut 
Gnaegi (Diatome), Bruno Humbel (University of Lausanne).

The objective of the course is that participants get the practical 
skills necessary to successfully apply CEMOVIS back in their 
laboratories. Background theory on various aspects of CEMOVIS will be 
given by the organisers and the invited speakers. Most of the time will 
be spent practicing high-pressure freezing, cryo-sectioning, and 
low-dose TEM imaging.

The course is intended for scientists whose research projects will 
benefit from the use of CEMOVIS. Experience in either cryo-electron 
microscopy or ultramicrotomy of resin-embedded specimens is a 
prerequisite. The number of participants will be very limited to ensure 
optimal training. Interested candidates are therefore invited to 
register early.

A registration fee applies and includes lunch. (PhD students: CHF 400; 
non-profit organisation employees: CHF 800; others: CHF 1600).

To register please send a curriculum vitae and a cover letter briefly 
describing your current or future research and how it is going to 
benefit from CEMOVIS to daniel.studer at ana.unibe.ch or 
bzuber at mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk.
