Because of its widespread availability, capabilities, non-invasiveness, sensitivity and specificity, light (& fluorescence) microscopy is an immensely popular research tool in the life sciences. Countless examples exist in literature where microscopy complemented other research methods to provide new and detailed insights in the workings of complex biological mechanism, insights that often cannot be obtained by any other method. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), for example, allows measuring subcellular mechanical forces that arise when cell polarize and migrate during angiogenesis. Image correlation spectroscopy, for example, allows studying the nucleation process of the structural HIV-1 Gag protein during viral assembly in infected T cells. Super-resolution microscopy methods, for example, allow mapping out the cellular morphology of the nucleopore, the gateway to the cell nucleus. Nowadays, many types of light microscopes, imaging modalities and analysis methods exist, making it hard for young researchers and students to choose the best method for a particular application.
Content
- The principles of the main classic light microscopy methods are refreshed, to synchronize everyones knowledge.
- The principles of the different popular advanced imaging families (e.g. correlation, fluorescence lifetime, FRET, single-molecule, super-resolution, non-linear and label-free methods) and associated fluorescent labels and labeling strategies (fluorescent proteins, dyes, non-natural amino acid labeling via click chemistry, suicide enzyme labeling, anti/nanobodies) that have emerged in late years are introduced using an examples from literature-approach, although the necessary physical-mathematical details are available for the interested student.
- Through a mixture of lectures, assignments, student presentations, microscopy demos, pc analysis classes and site visits, the student gets a feeling for the different families, what their advantages and limitations are, and is trained to identify the imaging methods that are used in scientific publications.
- Finally, state-of-the-art and cutting-edge hybrid imaging technologies, combining different biophysical methods (e.g. correlative fluorescence-electron microscopy, patch clamp electrophysiology-fluorescence imaging) are introduced, with a special emphasis on the new research areas they have opened up in recent years.
Learning goals
The student can
- describe the illumination and image formation principle of the main light microscopy techniques.
- describe the physical principles of advanced light microscopy techniques for achieving high spatial and/or temporal resolution
- describe the advantages and limitations of a light microscopy method in the context of temporal and spatial resolution, compatibility with live samples, label requirements, essential microscope components,
- describe the properties of different fluorescent labels, and the principles, advantages and limitations of different labeling strategies.
- search for the appropriate information regarding a particular imaging method, and describe its principles, advantages and limitations in a report or presentation.
- search for and select an application of a given light microscopy method, and identify the used labeling strategy(y/ies) and dye(s), and the research question(s) that was/were answered via imaging.
- identify in multimodal imaging papers the different research methods (light microscopy and other) that were employed to answer the research question(s), and describe their complementarity.
- work with particular advanced light microscopes, and carry out specific quantitative data or image analyses via advanced computer software.

The evaluation consists of multiple parts. For all parts of the evaluation, at least a score of 8/20 must be obtained in order to pass for the course. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Students who are unauthorized absent at one or more practicum, receive as final grade for the course a "N - unjustified absence" and have to attend the practicum in the next academic year and have to meet the requirements (e.g. a signed report) to receive their final grade. The student needs to re-enroll in the course in the next academic year. In this case, partial grades can be transferred to the next academic year.
A student who achieves a score lower than 8/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive a 'F fail' as final result. This final result is not tolerable.
A student who scores at least 8/20 for all parts of the evaluation receives as score the weighted average of the different points. This final mark is tolerable. Eg. 8/20 + 16/20 = 12/20 (passed). |
