[Kirsty MacLellan-Gibson]

Dear Listers,

NIBSC with JEOL (UK) Ltd. LEICA and Gatan are holding a dedicated cryo-workshop based on technologies installed at the NIBSC Imaging laboratory, Potters Bar, London, UK. The course will be held over 5 days commencing Monday 27th October through to Friday 31st October 2014.  Delegate numbers will be strictly limited to ensure maximum hands-on training.
The course will embrace cryo-preparation techniques using Cryo-FEGSEM, Cryo-TEM with GIF quantum and many associated preparation techniques: High pressure freezing (HMP010), Freeze fracture (Leica/BAF060), Cryo-sectioning, Freeze substitution, Vitreous thin films (plunge freezing), Tomography and High resolution Cryo-FEG SEM.  This year new automated acquisition solutions will also be taught.

The ethos of the course is very much "hands-on" with technical support lectures from scientists in these fields and application support from JEOL, LEICA and invited specialists from University of Lausanne and Max Plank Institute.
The course cost is £550.00 including conference dinner and lunches but excluding accommodation.
Applications are invited, please include a brief description of your current interests to Gill Cathro Email: Gill.Cathro at nibsc.org; Tel: +44 (0) 1707 641561; Fax: +44 (0) 1707 641578
