Contents

The aim of the course is to provide knowledge about the principles for, the function of, and applications of various microscopy techniques. The course will cover light microscopy, confocal microscopy, phase contrast, dark field, and interference contrast, and polarization microscopy. It will also encompass techniques such as fluorescence, Raman, scanning probe, atomic force, and scanning tunneling microscopy as well as manipulative techniques such as optical tweezers. The course includes laboratory work and demonstrations for elucidation of the function and the applicability of some of the techniques.
