Workshops
Aurion Immuno Gold Silver Staining Workshop
Pre Microscopy & Microanalysis 2010 Workshop
House Ear Institute
Los Angeles, California
July 28-30 , 2010
The objective of the course is to provide researchers with the opportunity to learn the theory and practice of immunogold labeling. Participants will process their own samples under the expert guidance of Mr. Peter van de Plas and Dr. Paul Webster. Mr van de Plas has been with Aurion since 1991 and has been involved with product applications and workshops, and is recognized for his through knowledge of the immunogold silver staining techniques. Dr. Webster is head of Ahmanson Advanced EM & Imaging Center at the at the House Ear Institute and is widely known for his expertise in immunolabeling and applying electron microscopy to biomedical research problems.

Our Workshops
Over the last decade Electron Microscopy Sciences has sponsored and participated in workshops covering a wide range of preparation techniques for electron microscopy and light microscopy. Subjects have included materials microscopy and ultramicrotomy, TEM Specimen Preparation, Cryo-Techniques, and Immunogold Labeling.
The faculty includes leading experts. Previous workshops have been taught by:
Tom Malis with 30 years of experience in applied TEM, he is an international leader in the field of materials ultramicrotomy.
Helmut Gnaegi, with Diatome since 1970, developed the technique for making diamond knives for ultramicrotomy.
Bob Vastenhout from Dow Benelux B.V. has taught many materials workshops worldwide. He specializes in ultramicrotomy of polymeric materials; trimming and block staining; sectioning for optical microscopy, SEM, TEM, and AFM; and OsO4and RuO4 staining.
Peter van de Plas from Aurion Reagents contributed to the development of product applications and designed the Immunogold Silver Staining workshop.
Paul Verkade from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany.
