1st Workshop on Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy
September 3 -7, 2007, Physics Department, School of Sciences,  
University of Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Quantum Electronics Lab (University of  Buenos Aires), the  
Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (University of California at  
Irvine) and the Gregorio Weber Laboratory of Proteins Thermodynamics  
and Viral  Structures (U.F. Rio de Janeiro) would like to invite you  
to the ?First South-American Workshop on Advanced Fluorescence  
Microscopy Techniques. Dynamics Through the Microscope: Fluorescence  
Correlation  Spectroscopy?.
It will be held at the University of Buenos Aires Sept. 3 -7, 2007.


The workshop will consist of theoretical lectures, a hands-on  
laboratory course and computer-based training on data analysis and   
simulations. It will focus on the advanced concepts of Fluorescence  
Correlation Spectroscopy techniques. The laboratory course is designed  
for students, researchers and  industrial scientists who intend to  
extend their knowledge of  fluorescence microscopy techniques.

Key scientists in the field will deliver theoretical lectures. The   
lectures will be complemented by the direct utilization of   
fluorescence instrumentation.
Topics addressed in this course include:

* Principles of Fluorescence and Introduction to Microscopy

* Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy Techniques

* Introduction to Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging

Key lecturers include Dr. Enrico Gratton (University of California at   
Irvine, United States), Dr. Oscar Martínez (Universidad de Buenos   
Aires), Dr Susana Sanchez (University of California at Irvine,  United  
  States), Dr. Valeria Levi (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina),   
Dr. Andre M.O. Gomes (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil),  
  Dr. Andrea C. Oliviera (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro,  
Brasil) and Dr. Luis Felipe Aguilar Cavallo (Universidad de Viña del  
Mar, Chile).

The laboratory course is limited to 20 participants. Enrollment in the  
lectures is free, but registration is required. Please register as  
soon as possible and indicate if you would like to participate in the  
laboratory course.
