(cryo-) Electron Tomography and image processing enthusiasts,
The 5th practical course on Image Processing for Electron Microscopy focused on Tomography will be held during 5 days on June 8-12, 2026 @Institut Pasteur with the participation of Institut Jacques Monod, Paris.
Electron tomography combined with image processing is one of the most powerful methods for studying cellular details in 3D. In situ studies can reveal additional important information about macromolecules in their complex environment and adopted conformations. This course aims to introduce basic concepts in image analysis and practical experience in tomographic reconstructions for processing low-dose tilt series with and without fiducials and for 3D volume annotation or subtomogram averaging.
The course is aimed at PhD students, post-doctoral fellows, staff scientists, and researchers who have some experience in EM and would like to use electron tomography in the near future. Applicants who already have tilt-series for processing will be prioritized. Participants will become autonomous and able to apply what they have learnt in their projects.
