• Lecture (2 hours): Basics of microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and digital imaging.

 

• System Demonstrations: 

          1. Basics of Microscopy and Fluorescence microscopy. (2.5 hours ):

              This session covers transmitted light microscopy techniques (Bright field, DIC, Phase

              contrast, and Darkfield), Kohler Illumination, and Fluorescence microscopy.

              Thereafter users get hand-on fluorescence microscopy (Leica DM6) and complete the

              assignment.

  

          2. Confocal microscopy (2 hours):  Demonstration of confocal microscopy using Zeiss LSM               710.

​

• Examination: The online MCQ paper needs to be submitted in 45 min. Results are generated instantaneously.

 

• Confocal Hand-on exercise (2-3 hours): Users complete their assignment  (using sub-resolution beads) individually on a LSM 710 confocal microscope on their own.

 

• Submission of assignments: 

 

• Submission of feedback form (online) and facility access:
