Short description
The internship will allow the candidate to familiarize with the technique of microcomputed tomography, in particular with the preparation of biological samples, including soft tissues.
The trainee will learn the sample fixation and contrast between individual tissues enhancing techniques. He/she will get acquainted with the methods of minimizing artecafts during the image reconstruction procedure.
Practices will focus on the optimization of the experiment with animal tissues - from fixation to analysis of results. The aim of the optimization will be to develop a list of subsequent actions for an efficient and error-free measurement procedure.
The result of the internship will be the student's familiarity with work in the pre-clinical imaging laboratory and a measurement protocol that can be used in laboratory classes with students.
