End of last week, we completed our second on-site training workshop organised by our Cryo-Electron Tomography Specialist Anna Steyer, which took place from 17 to 21 October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five-day-long workshop introduced eight Bachelor students from the University of Heidelberg to basics of volume electron microscopy techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electron microscopy encloses a powerful set of methods that enable high-resolution imaging on different resolution levels. Visualising proteins down to atomic level using single particle analysis or looking at the organelle context inside a multicellular organism using volume scanning electron microscopy. Recent developments in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as scanning electron microscopes (SEM) have led to ground-breaking opportunities in imaging of proteins, cells and tissues on ultrastructural level, allowing new insights into complex systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workshop participants acquired the theoretical background to understand the different techniques as well as gained practical hands-on experience on how to prepare a sample, acquire data, analyse and visualise the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is great to see the spark of interest, in this case for high-resolution electron microscopy methods, initiated in the next generation of young scientist.\u201d<\/p>
