| Title |
International Training School in Quantitative Wood Anatomy using ROXAS |
| Description |
Anybody interested in quantitative wood anatomy is invited to the training school, including researchers, students and technicians of all levels of experience. Participation will be limited to a maximum of 20 people (first come first served). The program will include ample time for supervised training. The following topics will be covered:
Stem anatomical features in angiosperms and gymnosperms
Anatomical sample preparation using rotary microtome, sledge microtome and surface preparation (woody and non-woody tissues)
Staining and preparation of permanent slides
Creating high-quality digital images of entire samples
Introduction to the image analysis tool ROXAS
Quantification of anatomical features using ROXAS
Glimpse of the upcoming ROXAS AI
Data processing for intra-ring analyses
Example of applications of quantitative wood anatomy in environmental research
The focus will be on anatomical measurements related to conduits (size, cell wall thickness, vessel topology), since they are most commonly used in research. But, we will also consider covering the quantification of cells in the phloem and ray parenchyma if there is interest.
Active participation is expected for earning the credits.
