FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2016

FOM2016 is the continuation of a yearly conference series, started in 1988 presenting the latest innovations and newest trends in optical microscopy, and their application in biology, medicine, and the material sciences.

- 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

- 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

- Bio- and nano-materials, biosensors

- OCT, endoscopy

- Fast acquisition, automated and high-content microscopy

- 3D image processing and visualization for multidimensional data

Special FOM2016 conference topic:  “Brain imaging”
