[3dem] CEMOVIS course announcement

[Zuber, Benoît (ANA)]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the


2nd UB Practical course
on Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Vitreous Sections (CEMOVIS)
5-7 June 2012 / 12-14 June 2012
Institute of Anatomy, University of Bern, Switzerland

Organiser : Benoît Zuber
Instructors: Benoît Zuber, Daniel Studer, Dimitri Vanhecke
The objective of the course is to teach the participants the practical skills necessary to successfully apply CEMOVIS in their laboratories. Essential background theory of CEMOVIS will be given and most of the time will be spent practicing high-pressure freezing, cryo-sectioning, and low-dose TEM imaging. 1 high-pressure freezing machine, 3 state-of-the-art cryo-ultramicrotomes and 1 cryo-electron microscope will be dedicated to the course. The 3-day course is given twice, each time with a maximum of 4 participants so that they can be actively practicing at any time.
The course is intended for scientists whose research projects will benefit from the use of CEMOVIS. Experience in either cryo-electron microscopy or ultramicrotomy of resin-embedded specimens is a prerequisite.

Yours sincerely

Benoît Zuber
