~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Confocal Microscopy: This workshop will give an introduction to the microscopes available in the INBRE Light Microscopy Core. Special emphasis will be put on confocal (3D) microscopy with live demonstrations and a chance for “hands-on” confocal microscope use. No prior experience in microscopy is required.

Flow Cytometry: Flow cytometry is a widely used technique with diverse applications. The introduction will cover the general basics of flow cytometry and its applications. We will demonstrate how to perform flow cytometry experiments using human cells labeled with specific surface markers. Additionally, we will showcase Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), where a specific population of cells is sorted using the flow cytometry machine.

ND INBRE Environmental Core: This one-hour session will provide a tour of the Core laboratory and hands-on demonstrations of equipment and state-of-the-art instruments available for metal analysis of biological and environmental samples. Safety glasses, gloves, etc. will be provide for attendees during demonstrations, and attendees may bring samples to be tested.
