> Dear all,
> 
> We are pleased to announce
> 
> the 3rd UB Practical Course on Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Vitreous Sections
> (CEMOVIS, a.k.a cryoEM of frozen-hydrated sections)
> 
> 2-4 July 2013 / 9-11 July 2013
> 
> Organiser : Benoît Zuber
> Instructors: Benoît Zuber, Daniel Studer, Ioan Iacovache
> 
> The objective of the course is to teach participants the practical skills necessary
> to successfully apply CEMOVIS (a.k.a. Frozen-hydrated sections) in their
> laboratories. Our latest tricks making CEMOVIS quite easy will be
> demonstrated. Essential background theory of CEMOVIS will be given and most
> of the time will be spent practicing high-pressure freezing, cryo-sectioning, and
> low-dose TEM imaging of vitreous sections. 1 high-pressure freezing machine,
> 3 state-of-the-art cryo-ultramicrotomes and 1 cryo-electron microscope will be
> dedicated to the course. The 3-day course is given twice for two different
> groups of maximum 4 participants each so that every participant can be
> actively practicing during the whole course.
> 
> All the participants of the previous previous courses have been successful in
> producing, collecting and imaging vitreous sections.
> 
> 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.
