Instruct course on Image Processing for Electron Microscopy in the cloud. Madrid, January 17 – 19, 2018

Electron Microscopy (EM) is rapidly growing as a high-resolution technique for structural biology. However, the high price of the electron microscopes is causing the concentration of scientific equipment in a few labs whose access is granted through infrastructure projects, like Instruct. A typical session in one of these high-end microscopes can generate up to 2TB
