Yes! We cover lasers for linear and nonlinear microscopy, and multi-photon microscopy (harmonic generation and fluorescence, including fluorescent label design for 2P imaging) 🔬

Thanks Sam! I share course organisation with @liam-rooney.bsky.social, @shannanfoylan.bsky.social and Brad Amos, and there are many student demonstrators. If was the only person involved there would be no course!

We are limited to 20 participants, and, thanks to generous support from our sponsors, we have been able to keep costs as low as possible so that we may admit participants on need, rather than their ability to pay.

The course is designed for PhD students, early career researchers, newly independent group leaders, research technical professionals, and imaging facility managers who are using light microscopes in their work and who wish to upskill in practical optical imaging. No previous experience necessary.
