About this course

Topics covered include:

  • Experimental design strategies
  • Fluorescent immuno-histochemistry
  • Confocal Microscopy
  • Intra-vital Microscopy (e.g. two-photon, three-photon, 2P-STED, ...)
  • Data analysis
  • Behaviour
Learning outcomes

Students will gain hands-on experience on fluorescent immuno-histochemistry, confocal microscopy and intra-vital microscopy (functional (Ca2+-imaging) and structural (e.g. GFP, YFP, tdTomato) in different cellular compartments). Students will also be able to perform data analysis of these different modalities and behaviour experiments.
