Arne Seitz

I like the idea of communicating with people from different scientific areas (e.g. biologist on one hand and optical engineers on the other hand) because solving interdisciplinary questions has always fascinated me during my research career.

Image Processing for Life Science

Registration details will be announced via email. It takes place from September to December & intends to teach image processing with a strong emphasis of applications in life sciences. The idea is to enable the participants to solve image processing questions via workflows independently.

Methods: from disease models to therapy

This course will describe methods underlying translational approaches from disease modeling and characterization to therapeutic applications. The presented techniques will be complemented by hands-on rotations in the technological platforms of the School of Life Sciences.

Biomicroscopy I

Introduction to geometrical and wave optics for understanding the principles of optical microscopes, their advantages and limitations. Describing the basic microscopy components and the commonly used biomicrocopy methods such as widefield and fluorescence.

Biomicroscopy II

Introduction to the different contrast enhancing methods in optical microscopy. Basic hands-on experience with optical microscopes at EPFL's BioImaging and Optics Facility. How to investigate biological samples? How to obtain high quality images?
