EMBO Practical Course on Electron Microscopy & Stereology in Cell Biology

Posted on Jun 10, 2013 3:24:00 PM

 

Course - Heidelberg, Germany

The aim of this course is to teach cutting-edge EM techniques for Cell Biologists on a high theoretical and practical level.EM is technically one of the most demanding set of approaches to learn; many aspects can only reasonably be understood by watching a specialist. Despite the vast number of technical books available, there is clearly no substitute for hands-on training. Therefore the main emphasis in this course is put on the practical training.

 

In order to gain a deeper understanding of structure-function relationships in the cell, it is necessary to implement affinity cytochemistry at the EM level.

Ultrastructural immunocytochemistry represents the most definite technique to identify specific cell structures in situ with sufficient spatial resolution.

However, only EM techniques can bring the information about antigen localization at the ultrastructural level, when is necessary to distinguish between the many interesting organelles whose functions are coupled (e.g. Golgi, ER).
