Fluorescence imaging is an integral part of modern research, and an understanding of the principles of microscopy is now an essential skill. This talk will cover key aspects of the field, including the fundamentals of fluorescence microscopy, the rational design of imaging experiments, and the quantitative analysis of visual data. Rather than focusing on a specific topic or approach, we will do a broad overview to enhance your understanding of imaging capabilities and demonstrate how imaging could help you in your own research.

Key points:

- The brief introduction to the physics of image formation

- General principles of the digital imaging

- Theoretical insight into the most commonly used fluorescence imaging techniques, such as wide-field and confocal imaging.

- Practical aspects of fluorescence image preprocessing and analysis approaches.
