</div>
<div>Please see Jason Swedlow's email below for details of this year's AQLM course in Woods Hole this May. This is
<b style="font-style:italic">the </b>microscopy course and I can't recommend it highly enough. </div>

Microscopy, held at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA, USA.<br>
The course will run <span class="object">May 1</span>-10, 2013.<br>
<br>
<span class="zmsearchresult">AQLM</span> is a comprehensive and intensive course in light microscopy for<br>
researchers in biology, medicine, and material sciences. This course<br>
provides a systematic and in-depth examination of the theory of image<br>
formation and application of video and digital methods for exploring subtle<br>
interactions between light and the specimen. This course emphasizes the<br>
quantitative issues that are critical to the proper interpretation of<br>
images obtained with modern wide-field and confocal microscopes.<br>
<br>
Laboratory exercises, demonstrations, and discussions include: (1)<br>
geometrical and physical optics of microscope image formation including<br>
Abbe's theory of the microscope and Fourier optics; (2) interaction of<br>
light and matter; (3) phase contrast polarization and interference<br>
microscopy for the nondestructive analysis of molecular and fine-structural<br>
organization in living cells; (4) fluorescence microscopy, quantification<br>
of fluorescence, and GFP; (5) principles and application of digital video<br>
imaging, recording, analysis, and display; (6) digital image processing and<br>
quantitative digital image deconvolution; (7) ratiometric measurement of<br>
intracellular ion concentrations; (8) confocal microscopy; and (9) new<br>
advances in light microscopy such as FRET, FLIM, TIRF, FCS, PALM, STORM and<br>
SIM.<br>

<br>
Within the course, we often refer to <span class="zmsearchresult">AQLM</span> as "Microscopy Boot Camp". It's<br>
intense, it's hardcore, but it's really fun.<br>
<br>
