SPIDER & Scipion Workshop: Image-processing of electron micrographs

Date & Time: November 3-4, 2016, 10:00-18:00

Place:
Workshop - CIP-Pool, Schellingstr. 4, ground floor (U3/U6 Universität)
Talks - seminar room HU123 (Schellingstr. 4, basement floor) and lecture hall N020 (LMU main building)

 

Workshop Outline

In this workshop you will be introduced to single particle techniques for EM and learn about advanced applications of the image processing softwares SPIDER and Scipion. Each day will start with talks by guest speakers about their research in the field of electron microscopy. The following hands-on-workshops will give you the opportunity to practice and apply different software packages for single particle analysis. We will cover topics such as alignment of direct-detector frames, defocus estimation, particle-picking, initial-volume reconstruction and 2D/3D classification. On day 1 of the workshop you will learn and practice the usage of the image processing suite SPIDER. Day 2 will cover the framework Scipion, which integrates several software packages for image processing and their workflows, such as XMIPP, SPIDER, EMAN2, RELION, CTFFIND4.
