Synopsis:

Methods of cell culture and tissue imaging, problems of imaging and contrast enhancement, light and epi-light microscopy, fluorescent labeling, primary and secondary antibodies, conjugates, permeabilization and blocking of samples against non-specific components. Methods of fluorescence and confocal microscopy, imaging of complex structures.

Requirements:

As a standard, teaching takes place in contact form and the course ends with an oral exam, which is preceded by written preparation. If the number of students is less than 5, teaching can take place in the form of guided self-study with regular consultations. Furthermore, it is required to prepare a written study by the student on a given topic in the field. The condition for admission to the exam is the completion of two laboratory exercises (evidenced by a protocol signed by the student, the head of the exercise and the guarantor of the course). These protocols will be archived.

Syllabus of lectures:
