3rd European Workshop on Advanced Fluorescence Imaging and Dynamics

October 8 - 12, 2012

The Institute of Physical Chemistry at LMU Munich, the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM) and the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) at LMU Munich in collaboration with the Laboratory of Fluorescence Dynamics (University of California, Irvine) are organizing a workshop on advanced concepts in fluorescence imaging techniques and instrumentation.

The workshop consists of:

• Advanced theoretical lectures by Prof. Enrico Gratton (University of California, Irvine), Dr. Michelle Digman (University of California, Irvine), Prof. Paul W. Wiseman (McGill University), Prof. Jochen Müller (University of Minnesota), Prof. Jörg Enderlein (University of Göttingen), Prof. Claus Seidel (University of Düsseldorf) and Prof. Don C. Lamb (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich)
• Computer based training on data analysis and simulations, underscoring what has been taught during the lectures
• Hands-on laboratory training using the fluorescence microscopy instrumentation of the LMU

Topics on the agenda:

• Advanced Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)
• Imaging Correlation Spectroscopy (ICS)
• Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS)
• Number and Brightness Analysis (N&B)
• The Phasor approach to Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)
• Photon Counting Histograms (PCH)
• Single Particle Tracking (SPT) in three dimensions
