The one week microscopy course provides didactic and hands-on training in a variety of light microscopy techniques. And is taught by outstanding international leaders in microscopy (listed in the poster below).  The course is supported by the major microscopy and camera vendors and will be in held in first-rate teaching labs and microscopy facilities at the NCBS.  The first course in 2009 was a really big success and of great benefit to the students. Last year, we had one Chinese student (from IBP).  It was very international with students also from Japan, India, South Africa, England, Singapore, Switzerland, Pakistan, and USA.
The course is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (although an advanced undergraduate or faculty member also would be welcome).  This course is focused on attracting outstanding students from Asia, so naturally we would welcome and hope to attract outstanding Chinese students!!!
Our hope is that this will become an annual course, similar to the Advanced Quantitative Light Microscopy course at the MBL, Woods Hole and the EMBO microscopy workshops.
