Time-resolved STED nanoscopy in life sciences
13 – 18 July 2026, EMBL Heidelberg

Hello Seppo,

If you are an early-stage researcher in the life sciences and have an immediate need to apply STED microscopy skills to your biologica questions – then you should apply for #EMBLSuperResolution now.

The six-day advanced microscopy course combines lectures, tutorials, and hands-on workshops to provide in-depth training in STED Nanoscopy, covering fundamental principles, technical implementations, and practical imaging strategies.

A strong focus is placed on sample preparation, including fluorophore choice, refractive index matching, and optimised image acquisition for fixed samples and living cells.
