Light Microscopy for Biomedical Research
Workshop 2010 is postponed

The Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility, UNC - Chapel Hill is offering a one week workshop on the use of light microscopy in biomedical research.  The workshop is intended to provide an introduction to the basic concepts of light microscopy and its application to biological research with lectures, hands on sessions and industry involvement.

Due to circumstances beyond our control this works has been postponed.  We hope to reschedule this event in the future and apologize for the inconvenience.
