| Methods in photonic microscopy applied to cell biology | 12.05.2026 10:00 - 16:30 (Tue) | Graduate Center of Life Sciences, Seminarraum 1. Stock, Alte Akademie 8a, 85354 Freising | Dr. Marie-Dominique Jolivet |
The aim of this course is to provide an overview of microscopy techniques for students who wish to use light microscopy to address cell biology research questions. The course will provide a framework for selecting the most appropriate light microscopy method for a given biological question. Both conventional and advanced techniques like super-resolution microscopy will be covered, and the limitations of the techniques presented will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on good practices regarding experimental design, data analysis and data reporting in a publication context.

Students are encouraged to have identified aspects of their projects that could benefit from light microscopy prior to attending the course.
Students may indicate their specific interests in advance (by e-mail: marie-dominique.jolivet@tum.de) so that the emphasis of the course can be adjusted accordingly
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Chair of Plant Cell Biology. My research focuses on membrane-based processes during plant immune responses, which I study using a wide range of photonic microscopy techniques, including super-resolution microscopy.
