Nikon Imaging Course

March 19, 2024

On March 19 and 20, 2024 five PhD students attended an Organ-on-Chip imaging course designed to deepen their understanding of intricate 3D imaging and analysis techniques. This course was organized by the Nikon BioImaging Lab in Leiden. In preparation for this two-day course an online technical seminar was held in which the imaging possibilities were presented. Subsequently, the students filled in a form to inform the instructors about their specific imaging questions and objectives which led to the practical course for which the students could bring their own samples.
