Light Microscopy for the Biosciences
Workshop Details
The Seventh Charleston Workshop on Light Microscopy for the Biosciences (LMB) will provide a solid introduction to the concepts and practical applications of light microscopy relevant to modern cell and molecular biology. The LMB workshop is designed for doctoral level scientists, pre-doctoral students, and high level technical personnel. All students will benefit from in-depth interaction with instructors. Students are encouraged to bring their own specimens for analysis. No prior experience with microscopy is required.
