Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in a three day workshop. This free
annual event is a combination of symposium and open access to a wide
variety of fully functional microscopes. This year's symposium is
focused on Optogenetics. It is open to the international research
community and only requires free registration. Please visit the
website for a complete schedule and list of equipment
http://microscopy.med.yale.edu

Name: 2012 Yale Microscopy Workshop
Time:  June 26 - 28th, 2012
Location:  Yale Medical School, The Anlyan Center (TAC), New Haven, CT
Cost: Free on-line and on-site registration

Information: http://microscopy.med.yale.edu/index.html

Features:
- symposium on Optogenetics
- walk-in clinics, demonstrations and open access to fully functional
microscopes
- multi vendor participation (over 8 vendors)
- a "micro-course" practical will be offered demonstrating
photoinduction of an optogentic protein.

This event is designed for the busy researcher who wants to explore
new techniques, see the latest in instrumentation, or simply get
needed advice from vendor representatives. Reservations can be made
for many of the instruments after registration. View this as an
opportunity to perform a "surgical strike" exploration without any
financial or time commitments. Feel free to come for advice from
vendor representatives or to try out a microscope even if you are not
attending a class or a seminar.

Please see the website for free registration, a schedule of events,
and list of equipment. http://microscopy.med.yale.edu/index.html

Please feel free to disseminate information about this workshop by
word-of-mouth or through email at your institution. Need to try out
an instrument that is not on the list but manufactured by a vendor
that is already participating? Write to an organizer and we'll see if
they can bring it.

We look forward to seeing you there - please reserve early.
