FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2019

London, April 14-17, 2019

incorporating:
32nd International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
31st International Conference on Confocal Microscopy



Dear Colleagues,



Abstracts for oral and poster presentations can now be submitted through the conference website: http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org , where the conference registration will open by the end of November and also hotel information is available.



 Deadline for abstract submission: Tuesday, January 22, 2019



After the successful FOM2018 conference held in Singapore earlier this year, it is a pleasure to announce FOM2019: the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced and multi-dimensional light microscopy and image processing. The conference will take place at;



The Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) conference centre

Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE, UK

located adjacent to the Big Ben, the Parliament building and Westminster Abbey.



The FOM2019 London conference will start on Sunday morning 14 April with (free) tutorials starting 10:30 hrs. After lunch regular sessions begin at 14:00 hrs. followed by a flash poster presentation session at 16:00 hrs. The Sunday plenary Symposium  will start around 17:30 hrs. followed by a Welcome reception.



For further details please visit the FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY website: 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”.

FOM2019 in London will be the continuation of a yearly conference series (since 1988) on the latest innovations and developments predominantly in optical microscopy and their application in biology, medicine, and the material 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

- Light sheet microscopy

- Phase/interference based microscopies

- OCT, holographic, endoscopy

- 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.

- 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, analysis and visualization for multidimensional data



The conference series is in addition known for covering the rapid development of advanced fluorescence labelling techniques for (super)- resolution and multi-photon 3D imaging of -live- biological specimens.



Abstracts for contributions are invited and can be submitted via the website: http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org where further information on the present and previous FOM conferences can be found.
