There will be 2 or 3 lectures each day throughout. The first 3 days will be spent setting up microscopes for brightfield and epifluorescence microscopy, including polarisation and interference contrast methods. The final 6 days will be organised in 2 day blocks with 3 of the 8 experiments listed below. The experiments will be in the large classroom at the MBA and in rooms nearby. Use will be made of local specimens where possible. Experiments: 3 for 2 days each selected from the following:
Developmental Biology
1,2 2 experiments with confocal imaging
3 CCD imaging and deconvolution, ,microinjection, genetically encoded probes, gene gun
Cell Physiology
4 Confocal imaging with electrophysiology
5 CCD imaging with electrophysiology
6 Photolysis and photometry
7 Total internal reflection fluorescence imaging
8 Laser traps
Demonstrations
Multiphoton confocal imaging
Quantitative interference microscopy
Preparations used will include: invertebrate preparations (tunicates, molluscan neurones), zebra fish, mammalian brain slices, Fucus, Arabidopsis, and cell lines.
