The 2021 course will be held virtually for seven days split over two weeks to allow for shorter days. As with previous in-person iterations of the summer school, the 2021 course will consist of informal lectures and workshops, and will offer participants ample time to gain project specific advice from all of the academic experts and suppliers through dedicated Q&A sessions and informal social events.  It brings together leading academics and the major suppliers of super-resolution microscopes to provide expertise and guidance in the theory, practise and analysis of techniques including structured illumination microscopy (SIM), stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED), single molecule localization microscopies (PALM, sptPALM and dSTORM), and minimal photon fluxes (MinFlux) imaging.  Participants will also be able to send in their own samples for testing on ESRIC systems in the weeks following the course. The summer school is suitable for anyone with prior experience of fluorescence microscopy looking to exploit the benefits of super-resolution microscopy in their research. 

This year, we will have two funded places available for promising pre-PhD researchers or for early career technical staff who do not have access to funding to cover the course fee.
