| Seventh Annual CRS Workshop at Harvard, June 23-25, 2010 |
|
Coherent Raman Scattering (CRS) microscopy allows noninvasive 3D imaging of live cells based on the vibrational contrast intrinsic to a cell's molecular species. Through improvements in detection sensitivity, theoretical understanding of the contrast mechanism, and development of new laser sources, CRS microscopy, including coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) microscopies have matured as powerful methodologies for bio-imaging. This training course will reflect the state-of-the-art of these rapidly evolving techniques, providing understanding of the underlying principles of nonlinear coherent microscopy, and hands-on experience with CRS in tandem with confocal microscopy. Trainees may bring their own samples to be tested on June 27. |
