Theory and Practice in Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy

This Winter School is a practical, full-immersion course covering ultrastructural techniques that can be applied to the study of several biological subjects (cells, tissues, organisms).

The course will be divided in two parts:

a) a theoretical part organized in lectures covering basic and advanced techniques in transmission and scanning electron microscopy;

b) a practical part in which participants will be hosted in the laboratories and will be directly involved in the design and execution of experimental protocols regarding the main topics object of the lectures.

Should the restrictions on student mobility and on-site teaching activities persist, the program will be activated in distance learning mode and it will be entirely held online, via Microsoft Teams.
