Theory and practice in transmission and scanning electron microscopy

About

The 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 theoretical part organized in lectures covering basic and advanced techniques in transmission and scanning electron microscopy;
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.
The Winter School will be activated with at least 2 students. The maximum number of participants is set to 20 students.

The Winter School will be held on campus in Pisa, at Polo Nobili, via Alessandro Volta, 4
