Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified
Learning outcomes
The course introduces students in detail to the basic principles and rules of microscopic image analysis. It will also introduce a range of both freely available and commercial software suitable for scientific image analysis. In the practical part of the course, students will try out and partially master image analysis in these programs. The course also includes independent work on a creative project.
