Dear microscopists, we have still a few free places on our Definiens training course (Tue 27 - Thu 29 Sep). If you want to get more out of your microscopy data, this is your chance, please book your place soon. Good imaging, Martin -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [FILM-Users 00092] Definiens training dates Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2011 11:44:41 +0100 From: Martin Spitaler<m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> To: FILM-Users mailing list<film-users@imperial.ac.uk> CC: Thomas Mrowiec,<tmrowiec@definiens.com> Dear microscopists, it's been tricky to find a common date between room and all people involved, and it's now later than originally planned, but now the Definiens Basic training is now fixed: Training course: Definiens Basic I Time& date: Tue 27 - Thu 29 September 2011, 10.00-17.00 Location: Computer Training Room in the Central Library, 2nd floor (South Kensington Campus) Trainer: Tamara Manuelian, Definiens Available places is 6-10 Costs: max £500 (based on 6 participants, cheaper with more) Definiens Developer XD: We have had this software in the facility for just over a year now, and it's already proved its value for some very challenging image analysis projects which would have been impossible for us otherwise (the most demanding of them the fully automated quantification of immunological synapse formation in 30,000 time frames). The software offers easy access to a huge range of image analysis tools, and is specialised in analysing images on multiple scales, taking the biological context into account. I don't have any shares in the company, but it's just extremely useful, and with a good introduction - like this training course - pretty straightforward to use (recently a user with no experience in image analysis commented 'this is much easier than ImageJ'). I have also noticed that this training course is an excellent entry into the complex field of image analysis, whatever software tool you are using in the future. Trainer and training: Thomas Mrowiec comes from the Definiens Academy, specialising in customer training. The training comes with very detailed training material and sample datasets, and it doesn't require any previous experience. However, users are welcome to bring along their own sample images and get ideas how best to start with their analysis. Arranging the training on-site here we are able to keep the costs to a minimum (no travelling or accomomdation costs, larger number of participants). If you are interested, please book and confirm your place as soon as possible.
