Content (Syllabus outline):

Predmet Bio-slikanje predstavlja nove revolucionarne dosežke na področju slikanja od nivoja ne-invazivnih metod v živalih, 4D posnetkov v živih celicah in tkivih (organoidih) do mikroskopije in nanoskopije. Kako pomembne so te tehnike, dokazujeta dve Nobelovi nagradi, podeljeni s tega področja v letih 2008 in 2014. Ti izsledki so postavili celično in tkivno biologijo v popolnoma nove dimenzije. Pri tem predmetu bodo obravnavani različni nivoji bio-slikanja:
- Ne-invazivne metode v živih živalih
- Slikanje celic, organoidov in tkiv in vitro
- Konfokalna mikroskopija
- Fluorescenca proti absorbanci
- In situ hibridizacija, imunohistokemija in metabolno mapiranje z encimsko histokemijo
- Transmisijska in vrstična elektronska mikroskopija
- Kombinirana svetlobna in elektronska mikroskopija (CLEM1)
- 4D (čas in prostor) slikanje živih celic s kontrolirano ekspozicijsko mikroskopijo (CLEM2)
- Nanoskopija (super resolucija) s STED in PALM
- Slikovna citometrija in analiza slike
- Pretočna citometrija in celično sortiranje

The course Bioimaging deals with the revolutionary new developments in bioimaging from the level of non-invasive imaging in live animals, 4D imaging of live cells and tissues (organoids) down to microscopy and nanoscopy. The Nobel prizes for the developments of fluorescent proteins in cell biology in 2008 and for nanoscopy in 2014 demonstrate the importance of the techniques. They have given cell and tissue biology completely new dimensions. In the course, the various approaches in bioimaging will be learned:
- Non-invasive imaging in live animals
- 3D histochemistry and imaging of tissues
- Imaging of cells, organoids and tissues in vitro
- Confocal microscopy
- Fluorescence versus absorbance microscopy
- In situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry and metabolic mapping
- Transmission and scanning electron microscopy
- Combined light and electron microscopy
- 4D (time and space) imaging of live cells with spatially-controlled illumination microscopy
- Light-sheet microscopy
- Nanoscopy (superresolution) with STED and PALM
- Image cytometry and image analysis
- Flow cytometry and cell sorting

Cilji in kompetence:
Objectives and competences:

Cilj predmeta je dati študentom praktičen in teoretičen vpogled in pregled tehnik in metodologij slikanja, ki so danes na voljo za slikanje celic, tkiv in organov v najbolj naravnih razmerah.

Vpogled in pregled ustvarjata podlago, da izberejo prave tehnike slikanja v svoji nadaljnji karieri pri uporabnih ali temeljnih raziskavah.

The aim of the course is to give students practical and theoretical insight and overview of the imaging techniques and methodologies that are available these days to image cells, tissues and organs in the most true-to-nature conditions possible.

The insights and overview creates a basis for the students to select the right imaging techniques in their further career in applied or fundamental research.

Predvideni študijski rezultati:
Intendeded learning outcomes:

Študentje, ki bodo uspešno zaključili ta predmet, bodo pridobili:
