Aim: Imaging techniques are essential in many fields of biology and rapidly evolving. This course will help students design imaging approaches adapted to a biological question and to a given model of study.
Content: The course provides an overview of cutting-edge bio-imaging approaches. After introducing basic physical principles of microscopy, we address the application domains and observation potentials of various techniques, through lectures, scientific articles, research seminars, and technical demonstration workshops. Topics include: fluorescent reporters, electron (cryo)microscopy, superresolution, light-sheet microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, tissue clearing, preclinical imaging on small animal, tomography and correlative microscopy.
NB: The course is taught in English. It does not involve any manipulation of microscopes (with some exceptions), and does not address image processing or interpretation.
