Attendants to courses and training-sessions

SVI gives training sessions at our office at The Netherlands on a regular basis. We also give workshops and courses in conferences and institutions all over the world. (For more information see TrainingAndCourses). Next to that we also offer for our customers and their users remote tailor made training sessions as part of the M&U services. These are a few attendants' opinions about our courses:


After the remote training at the LIN in Magdeburg (May 2015):

In the name of our Core Facility, we would like to thank you very much for your presentation and question session. Both have been extremely helpful not only for our students, but also for us. The feedback of our students was very positive.

We really liked your morning presentation. It was comprehensive and easy to follow and our students got a great overview about what Huygens does and can achieve, and also where to be careful during imaging, which is very important. Your detailed and in-depth answers during the afternoon session greatly supported us, where also we could not reply.

In total we found the workshop very productive. I think the students learned a lot and also we learned something new. So, thank your very much again for your two sessions and also your time you invested before.

After the bi-annual Spring course in 2012:

I spent wonderful time and the training course was super useful.
I enjoyed a lot and recommend this course to everyone.

Thank you again,

After the workshops given at the ELMI 2007:

• Thank you for the excellent course that you had given. I had learned a lot about deconvolution.

After a two day course at the NIH, Bethesda, USA:

• ...we were very impressed by the presentations. He really managed to get us into what deconvolution can do for our images and to explain all the complicated

algorithms without showing one mathematical equation. This was absolutely brilliant. ... This workshop was excellent.

• ...able to explain physics concepts without using algorithms. This is rare. He gave a small philosophical introduction on reality and truth, which set the tone perfectly for his explanation of image restoration and deconvolution. It was very motivating to hear the explanations on the software.
• ...a very informative course!!!

After a Huygens Professional workshop at our office:

• ...the course has been great!!! I'm also much more confident with the Huygens Pro. The tcl command window is really powerful.
• Thank you again for the hospitality and the well organized course!!!
• The workshop gave insight into the manifold of possibilities provided by Huygens. I really enjoyed the final session, where we could discuss our individual problems and scientific question with the developers.

After a Huygens deconvolution workshop at our office:

• I enjoyed the course a lot and profited from it!!! The level of the audience was very high and we had a lot of stimulating discussions.

+This was a highly recommendable course with the aim to help us to optimize the usage of the SVI decon software. I would suggest to try the software beforehand in order to be able to use expertise of Hans, Jose and Edwin during the course. Bring your difficult data along with the results of your decon attempts, and discuss what can be done better.
