The BIP aims to provide early-stage researchers and
technicians an insight and „hands-on” training in nervous tissue sample
handling, and preparation for Transmission Electron Microscopy and Serial
Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy.
The first part of the NTEU-SS-EMSP course will be held on-line and theoretical background of sample preparation and Electron Microscopy techniques will be discussed by tutors from UD and partners from the NeurotechEU.
The second part of the course will be a 5 day long practical course, held in the Electron Microscopy Laboratory of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology (UD). During the hands-on training participants will have the chance to observe fixation methods, sectioning with the ultramicrotome, osmification, dehydration, embedding, mounting. A separate day will be dedicated to manual and automated (ATUMtome) serial ultrathin section cutting.
