Academic preconditions:
Science year passed.

Course introduction
Introduction to important experimental techniques for characterization and preparation of biologicak nanostructures. The course consists of lectures, problems, demonstrations and hands-on experiments.

Expected learning outcome
At the end of the course the student must be able to:

1. Describe the principles of concrete nanobioscience techniques covered in the course.
2. Evaluate whether or not a given characterization technique is suitable for a specific purpose within nanobioscience.
3. Design an experiment and choose the relevant methods to carry it out.

Subject overview

• Central topics from classical electromagnetism, including: Maxwells equations, electromagnetic radiation, refraction at interfaces, description of polarization and dielectric properties of materials.
• Optical microscopes and optical detection systems, including: Microscope design, Objective types and digital image detection.
• The resolution limit in the optical microscope.
• Contrast methods including fluorescence..
• Lab exercises and demonstrations.

Literature
There isn't any litterature for the course at the moment.

Website
This course uses e-learn (blackboard).

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
None

Assessment and marking:

1. Lab exercises evaluated pass/fail, internal censorship by the teacher. Lab exercises constitute 2 of the 5 ECTS course points. Continuous evaluation. Joint assessment.
