Fundamentals of light microscopy & image processing – October 6-17, 2025


We are pleased to announce the course “Fundamentals of light microscopy & image processing”, taking place from October 6 to 17, 2025, at ITQB NOVA.

This course will focus on the application of fluorescence microscopy in molecular and cellular microbiology and infection biology. The course will pass on basic concepts and practical training in conventional epifluorescence and confocal microscopy, super-resolution and electron microscopy. Trainees will learn principles of sample preparation and advanced applications in fluorescence microscopy (FRET, FLIM and FRAP). Through a combination of theoretical presentations and interactive coding sessions, trainees will learn methods of image analysis and machine learning. These concepts and tools will be applied in small group projects in interaction with the trainers.
