Get trained in Brillouin spectroscopy
The Bioengineering and Nanosciences and Charles Coulomb laboratories atthe University of Montpellier, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Department, have designed an exclusive short introductory course on Brillouin spectroscopy, to be held on April 1 and 2.
What is Brillouin spectroscopy?
Brillouin spectroscopy is a non-contact, all-optical technique that provides information about the mechanical properties of matter. It has been rapidly gaining ground in the field of biology since the advent of a new optical component: VIPA. When combined with a confocal microscope, a VIPA-based spectrograph enables rapid spectrum acquisition, opening the door to Brillouin imaging of various biological samples.
An exclusive short training course
The objective of this short course is simple: to present the theoretical, technical, and practical aspects of Brillouin spectroscopy.
At the end of this training course, participants will leave with a clear idea of the possibilities available and the techniques to be implemented in order to design an instrument suited to their needs.
This two-day short course in Brillouin spectroscopy costs €350 per person.
This short training course will take place on April 1 and 2, 2025.
So don't hesitate any longer and send us your application!
A comprehensive program and professional speakers
The two days of training in Brillouin spectroscopy will be punctuated by several workshops combining theory and practice. All these workshops will be led by three professionals: Benoit Rufflé, Remy Vialla, and Alban Desoutter.
The first day, focused on theory, will provide you with all the background information related to the history of spectroscopy and microscopy for biology, Brillouin scattering theory, and the evolution of spectroscopes.
Before moving on to the practical session on the second day, involving the assembly of a Brillouin 2 VIPA microscope crossed with a diffractive mask.
