BS7414 - Practical Course in Advanced Microscopy
Course Coordinator: Associate Professor LI Hoi Yeung (email: [email protected])
Availability: Semester 2
The technology for optical microscopy has been evolved rapidly with the development of opto-electronic technologies such as femtosecond lasers and highly sensitive photo- detectors, together with a wide variety of new fluorescent labelling methodologies and digital image analysis routines for 3D and live cell 4D data sets. The course Advanced Microscopy will enable graduate students to develop theoretical- and hands-on expertise within the area of confocal microscopy.
