<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In this workshop you will be
introduced to single particle techniques for EM and learn about
advanced applications of the image processing softwares <b>SPIDER
and Scipion</b>. Each day will start with<b> talks by guest
speakers</b> about their research in the field of electron
microscopy. <br>
The following <b>hands-on-workshops</b> will give you the
opportunity to practice and apply different software packages
for single particle analysis. We will cover topics such as
alignment of direct-detector frames, defocus estimation,
particle-picking, initial-volume reconstruction and 2D/3D
classification. On day 1 of the workshop you will learn and
practice the usage of the image processing suite <b>SPIDER</b>.
<br>
Day 2 will cover the framework <b>Scipion</b>, which integrates
several software packages for image processing and their
workflows, such as <b>XMIPP, SPIDER, EMAN2, RELION, CTFFIND4.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
