This is a great conference about everything related to (light) microscopy: Best wishes Andreas ----------------------------------- Announcing: FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2017 Bordeaux, France. April 9-12, 2017 30h International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy 29th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy Dear Colleagues, After the successful FOM2016 conference held in Taipei earlier this year, it is a pleasure to announce FOM2017: the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced multi-dimensional light microscopy and image processing. The conference will take place at the Palais des Congrès de Bordeaux, Convention Center, Bordeaux, France. For further details please visit the FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY website http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org<http://www.focusonmicroscopy.org/>. There, in addition to general information, the scientific program of previous FOM conferences - together with PDF's of presented abstracts- can be found under the link "Past conferences" Please note that the Sunday program is different from previous years. The (free) tutorials start at 10:30. After lunch regular parallel sessions begin at 14:00 hours followed by a Flash poster presentation session at 16:00. The Plenary opening session will start around 17:30 followed by a Welcome reception. For details see the tentative program on the website. FOM2017 in Bordeaux is the continuation of a yearly conference series (since 1988) on the latest innovations and developments in mostly optical microscopy and their application in biology, medicine, and materials sciences. Key topics are: - Theory and practice of confocal and multiphoton-excitation microscopy - Super-resolution, nanoscopy imaging: from PSF engineering (4pi, SIM, STED), fluorescent activation/quenching, stochastic/centroid (PALM, STORM, GSDIM, SOFI and related techniques) to TIRF - 3D and 4D live cell and tissue imaging - Adaptive optics for microscopy - Developments in phase/interference microscopies - Light sheet microscopy - Advanced fluorescence imaging/spectroscopy: FRET, FRAP, FLIM, FCS,SOFI - New fluorescence probes, proteins, quantum dots, single molecule imaging - Clearing and expansion techniques. - Coherent non-linear microscopies: SHG, THG, SFG, CARS. - Developments in phase/interference microscopies - Multi-dimensional fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy imaging - Correlated light/electron microscopy - Laser manipulation and tracking, photo-activation - OCT, endoscopy - Fast acquisition, automated and high-content microscopy - 3D image processing and visualization for multidimensional data At the 2017 conference the topic "Single object - molecule, Quantum Dot, Nanotube - based imaging will receive special attention. The conference series is in addition known for covering the rapid development of advanced fluorescence labeling techniques for (super)- resolution and multi-photon 3D imaging of -live- biological specimens. Abstracts for contributions are invited and can already be submitted through the website: http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org <http://www.focusonmicroscopy.org/> where further information on the present and previous FOM conferences can be found.
