The Boulder Laboratory for 3-D Electron Microscopy of Cells will be
holding a tomography software workshop July 12-15, 2006. The workshop
is designed to teach investigators the IMOD software package
developed in our lab, with an emphasis on plastic section
reconstruction. The four-day course will include lectures introducing
participants to tilt-series acquisition, alignment methods, and dual-
axis tomography. Demonstrations on specimen preparation and preparing
grids for tomography will be presented. Participants will have hands-
on experience with data acquisition, and will learn the IMOD software
package using sample data sets provided by the lab as well as data
acquired in practice sessions. Trouble shooting strategies for
problematic data sets and tips on modeling tomographic data will also
be presented. Special topics including large area reconstruction,
serial section tomography, and cryotomography will also be covered.
The workshop is limited to 14 participants. More than one applicant
per lab will be considered only if there is space remaining. There is
no fee for academic participants in the workshop, but participants
need to cover travel and lodging expenses. Applications are due May
1, 2006. Send application to:
Ms. Linda Batlin
Email: Linda.Batlin at Colorado.edu
Please include a brief description of:
1. Level of expertise with tomography (beginner, intermediate,
advanced).
2. Field of study.
3. Experience with the IMOD package.
4. If you have a reasonably powerful laptop computer that you would
be willing to use for the course work (indicate type and speed).
