μLectures is a monthly seminar series designed to enhance researchers’ understanding of the fundamental workings and principles of microscopy. Each session, lasting 30 minutes, focuses on a specific concept or topic within microscopy. The practical information presented aims to deepen researchers’ comprehension of their microscopy experiments, giving them a better overview of the options available and enabling them to improve their experimental design and more effectively identify and resolve potential issues.
This seminar will focus on image noise, a factor that can degrade image quality or interpretation. We will introduce what noise is, explain the different types of noise along with their characteristics and sources, and discuss strategies to avoid noise or how to take advantage of noise when it is already present in an image.
The seminar will take place on Tuesday 27.1.2026 from 1 p.m. in the Turquoise Auditorium of the IEM CAS (POSTPONED FROM 25.11.2025). It will also be possible to join online using this link (open in a new window).
Registration is not required, but we will be happy if you can let us know know if you are planning to come (in person or at iva.svecova@iem.cas.cz).
Lecturer: Štěpán Kortus / Iva Švecová
