Inhaltsbeschreibung zu den Veranstaltungen

Einführung in die Elektronenmikroskopie mit Demonstrationen, 2-stündig. Die Grundprinzipien des Mikroskopaufbaues, der Funktion, der Auflösung und der analytische Techniken vom Raster- bzw. Transmissionselektronenmikroskop werden ausführlich dargestellt. (Auf Deutsch)

An introduction to Electron Microscopy with demonstrations, 2 hours per week. The major components and working principles of an electron microscope will be demonstrated. Furthermore, the function and resolution of scanning and transmission electron microscopes as well as selected preparation and analytical methods will be explained in more detail. (In English)

Bacterial Cell Biology: The lecture series is devoted to microbial cell biology. Recent advances in microbiology have demonstrated that prokaryotic cells have a highly organized and dynamic suvcellular architecture. The lecture will introduce into the current knowledge of bacterial and archaeal fine structure. It will provide an overview over modern light, fluorescent and electron microscopic techniques for studying microbial cellular architecture. Among major topics are the structure and function of bacterial compartments, organelles, appendages and cytoskeletal elements. Key cellular processes such as prokaryotic cell division and differentiation will be highlighted. A further focus will be on prokaryotic cell walls including peptidoglycan architecture as well as S-layer proteins. The last part of the lecture will provide an overview about microbial unicellular eukaryotes and some aspects and developments of synthetic microbiology.

Methods in transmission electron microscopy and their application (seminar and practical course): Within this practical course and the corresponding seminar, the students will learn how to perform the preparation of a variety of biological specimens for subsequent transmission electron microscopy. Samples will include plant material, photosynthetic algae and prokaryotes. The applied methods will include chemical and cryo-fixation, embedding and thin section, negative staining, immunogold localization and 3D electron microscopy (e.g.: TEM tomography). As a final part of the course, data processing and analysis will play a central and important role.

Hot topics in (cryo) electron microscopy: The seminar deals with the variety of methods applied in electron microscopy in general an which are partially also applied at our institute. These are methods like high-pressure freezing, imunogold localization, 3D structure of cells or single particle analysis. In the seminar, students are working on a selected topic which includes an oral presentation. These presentations will also show recent applications of the method.
