[3dem] NIBSC cryo-workshop 2015

[Kirsty MacLellan-Gibson]

Dear Listers,

Please share this with anyone you think might be intrested.

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 2nd March through to Friday 6th March 2015.  Delegate numbers will be strictly limited to ensure maximum hands-on training.

The course will embrace cryo-preparation techniques for cryo-FEGSEM, cryo-TEM with GIF quantum and will cover the following preparation techniques: high pressure freezing (HMP010), freeze fracture (Leica/BAF060), cryo-sectioning, freeze substitution, vitreous thin films (plunge freezing).  Tomography by serial-EM and automatic acquisition by JADAS will also be covered.

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.  Instructors include: Kirsty MacLellan-Gibson (NIBSC); Bruno Humbel (UNIL); Heinz Schwartz (MPI Tuebingen); Andy Yarwood (JEOL UK); Ludovic Renault (CRUK) ;Jaap Brink (JEOL USA).
