Content(s)

Without relying on complex mathematics we are going to address basic concepts in imaging such as contrasting techniques, fluorescence and also explores advanced techniques such as quantitative fluorescence, three-dimensional imaging, nonlinear microscopy. Of course we'll also have to spend some time on multiple appendices on cell handling, labeling, and image manipulation.
