[3dem] UBC 3D Correlated light and Electron Microscopy Course: Registration open

[William Rice]

Dear All,
I would like to announce the


    Preliminary programme for the inaugural UBC 3D Correlative Light and
    Electron Microscopy course

*UBC Bioimaging Facility*

*UBC Centre for Highthroughput Phenogenomics*

This course is designed for life science researchers/microscopists who 
are looking to learn 3D Correlative Microscopy.  Our instructors will 
guide you with a series of lectures and practical demonstrations.  We 
will introduce a sample (or two) at the beginning of the course and take 
that one sample through microCT, confocal/2P, dual beam FESEM and TEM 
tomography and into advanced 3D image processing.  Sample preparation 
will include both chemical fixation as well as high pressure freezing.


*Synopsis:*

*When: *     June 14-17, 2013
*Where:* UBC Bioimaging Facility <http://www.bioimaging.ubc.ca> and UBC 
Centre for High-Throughput Phenogenomics 
<http://www.phenogenomics.dentistry.ubc.ca/>, University of British 
Columbia, Vancouver, BC. Canada
*Support:*  Systems for Research (SFR), FEI Company, Edge Scientific, 
Leica Microsystems, Olympus Canada, TILL Photonics and VSG
*Who:*        10-12 students, preferably life sciences PhD students, 
Post docs, microscopy facility managers/directors
*Course fee:* *$2500 CDN ($1400 for UBC researchers)* and will include 5 
nights accommodation, breakfast, lunch and one dinner.

For more information contact *Garnet Martens at 
garnet.martens at botany.ubc.ca*.

*Preexisting knowledge of both light and electron microscopy necessary.*
