The course is an introduction to superresolution microscopy techniques STORM and SIM. The theoretical background will be complemented with many practical presentations. Experts and scientists from the field teach the lectures and practical sessions. The two-day theoretical course with practical demonstrations and exercises is intensely devoted
to modern methodologies of super-resolution light microscopy (SIM, STORM). The priority is the practical demonstration of the image analysis software by the
authors themselves. After completing the course, the participants will be able to determine what is appropriate microscopy technique used to answer the research questions, including sample preparation and data processing for publication. The course will be taught in English.
