Course Contents
In this course the origin and analysis of images acquired through microscopy is the leading theme. Images play a major role in understanding of biological processes. Bio-molecular processes are visualized by a range of microscopical techniques and modalities. From images coherent visualizations and models are derived. The characteristic sequence of image analysis starts with the acquisition, proceeds to restoration and segmentation to conclude with analysis. This sequence will be the skeleton of this course. Image acquisition in microscopy will be dealt with on a theoretical as well as practical level. In a series of lectures all important aspects of imaging along the line of the characteristic sequence of image analysis are dealt with. Concepts of image processing will be introduced and it will be discussed how set of image features is compiled in measurements. Subjects will use the 2D imaging as a means of explaining the principles and the switch to multi-dimensional imaging to illustrate the implications of imaging in research and connect to current topics in bio-medical research. Presenting results through visualization and modeling is an ingredient found in applications that are discussed. The course consists of a series of lectures, practical assignments using programmable image analysis software environments and "hands-on" experience with microscopes (i.e. image acquisition). The course is concluded with a report on the practical work and a written exam.
This course will be given by two lecturers. These are, Dr. Ir. F.J. Verbeek (coordinator)and Dr. D.P. Huijsmans.
Assistance in the practical part will be given by Drs. J. Slob, Drs. K.Yan and Drs. A.Nezhinsky.
The microscopy will be assisted by G. Lamers (head microscopy at the Clusius Laboratory, IBL).

This course is part of the core program for the mastertrack BioInformatics and also known as Microscopy, Modelling and Visualisation. This course is suitable for master students in Computer Science, Media Technology, Biology, Physics, LST and BPS. The course is also suitable for those PhD students for whom knowledge of imaging and image processing is beneficial to their research projects.
