Every month, experts from each of the MNB facilities are joining efforts to prepare a series of workshops on a wide variety of topics. The aim is to teach basic microscopy concepts, but also reach those of you who want to specialize in a particular topic: from smart microscopy and spatial transcriptomics, DIY or super-resolution, to light sheet microscopy or photomanipulation. Programs will include the perfect mix of theory and hands-on sessions. 

The workshops are (generally) organized as one-day modules, and will in general have lectures in the morning and hands-on sessions in the afternoon. Each workshop is independent, participants can apply for one or more workshops. Please note that the registration is mandatory for the hands-on sessions, but the theory lectures are open to all, and will often take place at the DBSSE (Schanzenstrasse 44) in seminar room D65.2 (under the bridge in the main atrium, seats 28). But please, check the individual EventBrite pages with more concrete information.
