This module provides an overview of cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) resources and e-learning platforms suitable for researchers and staff working in the field of electron microscopy.
This course introduces the fundamental principles underlying cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), beginning with the basic anatomy of electron microscopes, an introduction to Fourier transforms, and the principles of image formation. Building on this foundation, the class explores sample preparation challenges, data collection strategies, and basic image processing workflows across the three core modalities of modern cryo-EM: tomography, single-particle analysis, and two-dimensional crystallography.
The course consists of lecture slide materials accompanied by video recordings.

This Jupyter book contains training resources for scientists who want to dive into image processing with Python.
This book is specifically aimed at students and scientists working with microscopy images in the life sciences. The book starts with basics of Python programming. The images will be processed using numpy, scipy, scikit-image, SimpleITK and clEsperanto. Napari will be explored for interactive image data analysis and the Napari-Assistant for generating Jupyter Notebooks from interactively designed image processing workflows.
Prerequisites: basic programming and image analysis knowledge.
This project has been made possible in part by a grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative DAF, an advised fund of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
