High throughput bio-imaging and design a cell imaging experiment, M. Tardivel.

During this semester, we will cover the concepts of advanced high throughput analysis bio-imaging in order to image and quantify biological processes in living cells.

Description: This course will provide a large overview of existing technique in the domain of light microscopy: Theory, components, advantages and drawbacks of each modality and their concrete application. 

1- Diversity of Modern Microscopy

2- Different Contrast Methods

3- How to Design a Microscopy Experience

4- Understanding a Microscopy Experience. 

PRACTICAL WORK

Slide scanning and spinning disk techniques for high throughput 3D bio-imaging, M. Tardivel, A. Bongiovanni (2 days)

AIM:

These courses will provide basis in multi-scale optic microscopy. From whole labeled tissue to 3D high-resolution structures, students will acquire the methodology for data acquisition and data analysis with a gold standard 3D software.

 Evaluation: Describe parameters to set up a slide scanner and spinning disk acquisition. Describe each technique. Depending of the sample, describe the process for a 3D analysis using Imaris software.
