I will briefly touch on other probes such as the Area Fraction Fractionator for quantifying the volume of a sub-region (e.g. I will focus on the Optical Fractionator probe for quantifying cell number, and the Cavalieri probe for quantifying volume of a region.

The goal of this workshop is for you to learn how to design and execute an unbiased stereology study. Stereology is a powerful method for quantifying cell numbers, areas, and volumes in biological structures in a reproducible and unbiased fashion. Jose Maldonado, Sr Scientific Advisor, MBF Bioscience

Practical stereology techniques to obtain unbiased, reproducible resultsĭr. This extended free trial period is exclusive to workshop attendees and provides you with opportunity to test the software with multiple data sets from your own lab.

You can install the free trial on your laptop PC and follow along as I give a demonstration of automatic neuron tracing with Neurolucida 360 during the workshop. If you don't have a laptop PC you can watch my screen or share with another attendee. You will have time to continue your free trial after the Society for Neuroscience meeting. Ample time will be given for question and answer sessions, and all attendees will get a free trial of Neurolucida 360.

You will learn how to get accurate, reproducible data about the size, shape, and complexity of neurons as quickly as possible. Susan Tappan, for an exciting, interactive workshop where you will learn about the latest automatic methods for neuron reconstruction and analysis in Neurolucida 360. Susan Tappan, Scientific Director, MBF Bioscience Automatic neuron reconstruction and analysisĭr.
