NOBIC invites you to an introductory course in optical microscopy. The course is intended primarily for students and postdocs in biological and biomedical fields who are new to optical microscopy or who are not new to optical microscopy but would like to get a better understanding of its basic principles.

The course will be a hybrid event held at:

• LKCMedicine, EMB, Level 4 Conference room - for on-site participation kindly register. Please note that the number of on-site participants is limited.
  
  
• and simultaneously virtually via Zoom - follow this link (Meeting ID: 964 1587 5705, Passcode: 126843). No registration is required for online participants.
