Instruct PartnerITQB NOVA is a reference in fluorescence microscopy in the context of microbiology and infection biology, possessing the technical knowledge and equipment to provide excellent training to researchers in the life sciences. ITQB NOVA, through the Bacterial Imaging Cluster (BIC), has specialists in different advanced microscopy techniques and preparation of complex samples, as well as conventional and super-resolution microscopy systems in biosafety. This potential for knowledge creation and sharing is further enhanced by the strong integration of ITQB NOVA in the Portuguese bioimaging community.
The course "Fundamentals of light microscopy and image processing" will focus on the application of fluorescence microscopy in molecular and cellular microbiology and infection biology. This course will pass on basic concepts and practical training in conventional epifluorescence and confocal microscopy, super-resolution and electron microscopy. Trainees will learn principles of sample preparation and advanced applications in fluorescence microscopy (FRET, FLIM and FRAP). Through a combination of theoretical presentations and interactive coding sessions, trainees will learn methods of image analysis and machine learning. These concepts and tools will be applied in small group projects in interaction with the trainers.
