3^rd EMBO Practical Course on Light Sheet Microscopy

August 2^nd -11^th, 2018

Dresden, Germany

Light sheet microscopy is an emerging technology that enables imaging of large biological specimens with minimal photodamage. It opens new avenues to study cell biological and developmental processes with unprecedented imaging speed and facilitates systems biology approaches by quantitative imaging of entire living systems. Light sheet microscopy has only recently left the optical tables of technology developers and become more broadly available through commercial and open access platforms. This EMBO practical course will comprehensively introduce the light sheet microscopy paradigm to the new generation of scientists.

The course will be immediately followed by a 10^th anniversary light sheet fluorescence microscopy conference held at MPI-CBG in Dresden between 12^th-15^th August 2018. The students of the course will be able to attend the conference free of charge and will present the results of the course at a special dedicated session.

10^th Annual Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy Conference

August 12^th -15^th, 2018

Dresden, Germany

Light sheet microscopy has emerged as a powerful tool to interrogate living biological systems with unprecedented imaging speeds for as long as it takes. Large, fixed, cleared or expanded biological samples can be imaged with high resolution in a fraction of time compared to conventional microscopy approaches. When combined, the spatial coverage and temporal resolution leads to in toto recording of complex biological phenomena.

The conference marks the 10^th Anniversary of Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) meetings that started in 2009 in Dresden. It will bring together the technology developers and users of light sheets, showcase the latest light sheet set-ups and how to best deploy them for the benefit of the biological research community. It immediately follows the 3^rd EMBO practical course on light sheet microscopy held in Dresden between August 2^nd and 11^th 2018. The course teaches light sheet microscopy to the next generation of scientists who will present the results of their light sheet experiments at the conference.
