3rd UVM Practical Course
on Three-dimensional Cryo Electron Microscopy of Single Particles

University of Vermont, Burlington, VT
 August 13 - 19, 2007  

Summer in Vermont

 

This international course will teach the principles of three-dimensional reconstruction of single particles from cryo electron micrographs.

The course will include in-depth teaching of the basic theoretical principles of single particle analysis, discussions and demonstrations of experimental procedures, and six hours per day of hands-on processing of data sets from electron micrographs of single particles.

Participants will work in groups of two, with the close support of instructors who will provide step-by-step guidance through the complete three-dimensional reconstruction process.

The course aims to provide participants with a strong practical and theoretical background that will enable them later to use these techniques in their home laboratory.
