Computers in Microscopy

Open Lectures on
Digital Image Processing and Analysis
for Microscopy

Organised in collaboration with the Royal Microscopical Society

A series of seven thirty-minute lectures will be given on Thursday 17th September, 1998, in the University Engineering Department (Lecture Theatre LT 0).

The lectures will cover a variety of topics related to image processing and analysis, and are expected to be of interest to staff and research students working in the area. They form a part of the annual course on Computers in Microscopy organised in conjunction with the Royal Microscopical Society.

Members of the University are welcome to attend: there is no need to reserve places. However, please note there are no car parking facilities in the Department.
