<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">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 2<sup>nd</sup> March through to Friday 6<sup>th</sup> March 2015. Delegate numbers will be strictly limited to ensure maximum hands-on training.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">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).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
