OMUG Summary

Comprehensive Course on Fluorescence Microscopy


Optical Microscopy Users Group (O-MUG)

The Optical Microscopy Users Group meets once a month to discuss topics ranging from new microscopy systems to acquisition to analysis techniques. Regular meetings will be held on the first Monday of each month from 10-11am at Princess Margaret Hospital on the 7th floor, Room 7-605. Each meeting will comprise of a 15-30min presentation on a selected topic followed by a discussion period about any other issues brought up by the group. All levels of microscope users are welcome. Free coffee will be provided, so all you need to do is bring your O-wn MUG!

Check this webpage regularly for information on past and upcoming meetings.

*** The next O-MUG meeting: Monday February 6th, 2012, Pathology of Genetically Engineered Mice: Understanding Sample Preparation. Click here for more details.***
