Fluoreszenz Lifetime Imaging - Theorie und Funktion

WZ0005Specializing and Interdisciplinary Qualification1 ECTSGerman/EnglishWintersemester/SommersemesterProfessur für Entwicklungsbiologie der Pflanzen (Prof. Schneitz)
AI-edited module sheet. Based on the TUMonline module description, edited for readability.Original in TUMonline

What it is about

You will learn the theoretical foundations and practical application of Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) on confocal laser scanning microscopes. By the end you will be able to measure and interpret lifetimes, plan FRET- and anisotropy- analyses, as well as select suitable protein-fluorophore constructs for FRET and perform simple measurements on the combined LSM/FLIM system independently.

What you will be able to do

  • Understanding the generation of fluorophore decay curves
  • Recognising and interpreting lifetimes in different cellular contexts
  • Applying FLIM to study protein–protein interactions (FRET)
  • Choosing suitable protein-fluorophore fusion constructs for FRET
  • Recognition of HomoFRET-induced anisotropy changes for detecting clusters
  • Analysis of the diffusion behavior of proteins (e.g., membrane proteins) using FCS
  • Operating a combined, pulsed-laser-based lifetime measurement system coupled to a confocal LSM

What the module consists of

  • Übung/PraktikumPraktische Handhabung der FLIM/Anisotropie-Messeinheit am konfokalen LSM; Studierende sollen Geräte für einfache Arbeiten selbstständig bedienen können
  • Theorie-SitzungenErarbeitung der theoretischen Grundlagen (Decay‑Kurven, FRET, Anisotropie, FCS) anhand ausgewählter Literatur

Teaching method

  • LiteraturarbeitVorbereitung der theoretischen Grundlagen anhand ausgegebener bzw. verfügbarer Texte
  • Praktische Übungen am GerätVerfestigung der Theorie durch direkte Anwendung am kombinierten Lifetime‑Messgerät und konfokalen LSM
  • Vorträge/SkriptenVermittlung von Hintergrundwissen und Anleitung zur praktischen Arbeit
