MicroCARS: Chemical Imaging by means of

CARS Microscopy


Tutorials / Short courses

 

As part of the kick-off meeting for the COST action MicroCARS: Chemical Imaging by means of CARS microscopy - jointly organised with the Focus on Microscopy 2007 conference, tutorials (short courses) will be held on tuesday 10 April, 15.00-18.00. These tutorials provide a thorough introduction to nonlinear optics in general and CARS microscopy in particular. The tutorials will be given by experts in the field of nonlinear optics and CARS microscopy. The main goal of the tutorials is to provide PhD-students and post-docs, starting in the field of nonlinear optical microscopy, with the basic background required to understand CARS microscopy at a more fundamental level.

Admission
All FOM2007 participants are welcome to attend the CARS microscopy tutorials. Attendance is free and special registration is not required. Just proceed to the lecture theatre specified in the conference program.
