Microscope training
Training is open to all 香港六合彩中特网 staff and students, including summer students and visiting staff. However, junior researchers (including Masters students, BSc students, summer students) must be supervised by a group member while using high end systems such as the confocals & live imaging systems.
Training on all systems can be requested through the .
Please plan ahead. Training slots are often booked up 1-2 weeks in advance.
Microscope training should be done when you have samples ready to image, so the training can be tailored to your needs.听Training is not available more than 2 weeks in advance of intended use. The facility manager may suggest an alternative system if more appropriate for the users samples. For example, very thin sections of a few microns & cell monolayers are often better imaged on a widefield microscope rather than a confocal.
Custom image analysis
I can offer customized scripts and image analysis workflows by collaboration. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this.

Day 2 Image analysis. Pre-processing (Filters, background), thresholding for feature identification and counting. Alterntaive segmentation strategies. 2D 3D and timeseries. Identifying double / triple stained cells, (and why this isn't colocalisation).
Day 3 ImageJ / Fiji macros. Recording and writing custom scripts to automate image analysis.
The course is designed as a single course. You should attend all 3 days. However, if you have attended previous IA courses at ICH you are welcome to join for Day 3 for the macros session.
