ELMI was created in 2001 to establish a unique communication network between European scientists working in the field of light microscopy and the manufacturers of their equipment.
Stereology Workshop at the Institute of Anatomy, University of Bern, Switzerland
August 8th – 12th, 2022 and August 13th & 14th 2022 (newCAST training)
Information and registration on www.stereology.unibe.ch
Registration deadline: 10.7.2022, carried only with >15 participants & cleared corona situation
Scope
This course provides an introduction to state-of-the-art stereology with emphasis on its practical application in biomedicine. Experimental design, sampling, use of stereological probes, estimation of stereological parameters, and the application of statistical methods appropriate for stereology are covered. The course encompasses lectures, classroom exercises with real biomedical images, and laboratory practicals demonstrating the implementation of proper sampling and processing techniques on real biological organs.
This course is intended for students and researchers from the field of biology and medicine interested in sampling and measurement of 3D structures. Applications involving any kind of microscopy (e.g. light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, multi-photon microscopy, electron microscopy) as well as non-invasive scanning techniques like CT and NMR are welcome.
Participants should bring their specific projects and questions. During the course, there will be ample
opportunity for discussions with the instructors.
