HL2030 Subcellular Imaging, smaller course 6.0 credits
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Description of the different techniques that are applied for subcellular imaging. Applications of basic knowledge in mathematics that are used for imaging. Merging of results from the different technologies. Practical exercises demonstrating principals of the methods. Computer-based exercises.
Intended learning outcomes
The course in subcellular imaging will give an insight into methods that can be used to obtain a detailed picture of biological structure. Interactions with biotechnological materials like implants and nanoparticles will also be studied. After the course, paritcipants should be able to:
- Apply mathematical concepts for imaging techniques.
- Describe different techniques for specimen preparation.
- Describe modern light microscopy techniques.
- Understand the principels of electron micrcoscopy.
- Understand the basic concepts of structure determínation with X-rays.
- Understand the principles of magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
- Understand the principles of mass spectrometry.
- Apply relevant image processing methods.
- Apply relevant methods for modelling.
- Assimilate the contents of literature in the field of structural biotechnology.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
