Overview

Once a year the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) organizes an advanced workshop, which outlines the advanced concepts of fluorescence imaging techniques and instrumentation.

The workshop is designed for students who use fluorescence microscopy instrumentation and techniques, as well as for researchers and industrial scientists who intend to extend their knowledge of these fields.

The workshop consists of:

• advanced theoretical lectures by LFD scientists and invited speakers.
• laboratory and computer training.

Topics on the agenda:

• Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)
• Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS)
• Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) and Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)
• Number and Brightness (N&B)
• Spectral Phasors
• Super Resolution Microscopy
• Data analysis and simulations

The main lecture presentations are recorded (audio and video) and published on this website.

For details about the topics refer to the lecture recordings and notes of the previous workshops in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006.
