APPLICATIONS
Applicants must complete a questionnaire on the web to assess knowledge level, field of interest and proposed personal, live-cell, project. But don't let this put you off: if you plan to use 3D microscopy on living cells, we can usually find a way to make it work.
Enrollment will be limited to about 36 participants (exact number depends on number of 3D Systems available). Selection will be made on the basis of background and perceived need. Those without previous LM experience will be provided with access to basic texts to read before the course begins. Application forms may be down-loaded from the WWW site at http://www.3dcourse.ubc.ca/2008/public.php?page=apply, or obtained from:
Prof. James B. Pawley,
Ph. 608-263-3147

Additional information is available from:

We expect to have at least 13, 3D microscope workstations for student use and there will be an international faculty of more than 20.
Application deadlines:
Application forms should be received for screening by March 15, 2008. Successful applicants will be notified by April 1, and a deposit of 50% must be received by April 15, 2008. In general, refunds of the deposit will only be possible if someone on the waiting list can take your place but this has not been a problem in previous years. The remaining balance is due before Registration.
