FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2008 - Osaka, Awaji Island, Japan - April 13-16, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
21th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
20th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy
Dear Colleagues,
January 15, 2008, the deadline for abstract submission for the Osaka,
Awaji Island FOM2008 conference, is nearing. Please submit your abstract by
that date.
Abstracts for oral and poster presentations can now be submitted
preferably through the conference website:
http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.orgwhere also the conference registration has opened and hotel booking
information is available.
The program for the conference will be finalized and available on our
website on Feb. 6, 2008. Authors will be informed individually by E-mail
on the placement of their contribution in the program.
After the successful FOM2007 conference held in Valencia in April last
year, the next conference: Focus on Microscopy 2008 will take place in
Osaka, Awaji Island, Japan from Sunday, April 13 to Wednesday, April 16,
2008. As the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on
advanced multidimensional light microscopy and image processing, the
conference will be hosted by the University of Osaka.
Focus on Microscopy 2008 is the continuation of a yearly, well attended
conference series presenting the latest innovations in optical microscopy
and their application in biology, medicine and the material sciences. Key
subjects for the conference are the theory and practice of 3D optical
imaging, related 3D image processing, together with reporting on the ever
increasing spatial resolutions and sophisticated imaging modes coming
available in sectioning microscopy.
The conference series is in addition known for covering the rapid
development of advanced fluorescence labeling techniques for the confocal
and multi-photon 3D imaging of -live- biological specimens. Laser light in
combination with 3D microscopy is starting to play an increasingly
important role as a tool at sub-micrometer scales in cell biology for
dissection and isolation of structures of interest for subsequent
analysis.
Important dates:
Deadline for the submission of abstracts: January 15, 2008
Acceptance of contributions, draft program: February 6, 2008
Deadline for early registration: February 26, 2008
