MBW10: Técnicas avanzadas de microscopía confocal y electrónica para el estudio de muestras biológicas

Summary

The generation of scientific knowledge about ecosystems, biological diversity and the understanding of biological processes at the cellular level from a multidisciplinary perspective have contributed to the solution of environmental, agricultural, forestry and health problems for the benefit of society. The 10th Edition of the Mexican Bioimaging Workshops, is focused on the use of advanced microscopy tools (Confocal, SEM and TEM) in the processing and study of biological samples such as microorganisms, plants and insects that allow the study of organisms from an ecological perspective. systematic. , biochemistry and cellular in order to understand the molecular mechanisms of biological processes. We will address fundamentals and applications of fluorescence microscopy such as epifluorescence, confocal and super resolution (STED), sample preparation and visualization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM and SEM-EDS) and transmission, as well as sample preparation techniques such as cryosubstitution, cryofixation, microcomputed tomography (Micro-CT) among other applications.
