Confocal Microscopy course 2025

Description

The Confocal Microscopy course at the University of York was a four-day intensive (32 hours) programme combining lectures on imaging theory and extensive hands-on training. Using samples ranging from plant tissue to live cells, I gained experience in several advanced techniques, such as FRET, FRAP, and spectral imaging with linear unmixing. We were introduced to both laser scanning and spinning disk confocal systems, including super-resolution imaging technology Airyscan 2. During the last session, we were encouraged to analyse our own samples, and discussed different strategies to optimise capturing speed and image quality.
