Skills to be acquired in this module	The students will learn the basics/theory of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) different sample preparation methods for SEM to operate our scanning electron microscope to operate our critical point drying device to perform sputter coating to perform negative staining TEM to operate our transmission electron microscope to perform immuno-labelling for light microscopy
Module contents	The profile module "Techniques in light microscopy and electron microscopy" runs over a period of 10 days, distributed over three weeks. On the first day, seminars will introduce into the theory, i.e. of SEM and TEM. The remaining 9 days are for practice. The main topics of the course are: basic principles and functioning of light and electron microscopes, sample preparation, fixation, low temperature SEM, low vacuum SEM, negative staining TEM, and immuno-labelling for light microscopy.
Reader's advisory	will be announced
