After the successful FOM2008 conference held in Osaka in April 2008,
Focus on Microscopy 2009 will take place in Krakow, Poland, in the week
before Easter from Sunday April 5 to Wednesday April 8, 2009.
It will be hosted by Jagiellonian University in Krakow, at its
Auditorium Maximum in the center of this historic and beautiful city.
Focus on Microscopy 2009 is the continuation of a yearly conference series
presenting the latest innovations and new trends in optical microscopy
and their application in biology, medicine and material sciences.
Key subjects are:
- the theory and practice of multidimensional optical microscopies,
- the high spatial resolution and sophisticated excitation (SHG, Raman, THG, OCS) and
fluorescence imaging modes (FRET, FLIM, FRAP, FCS etc.) coming available,
- new techniques for functional studies and manipulation of cells and tissues,
- automated and high-throughput microscopy techniques,
- related image processing and analysis approaches.
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 based activation and quenching techniques integrated
with 3D microscopy are becoming important tools in cell biology.
We welcome you to Krakow for the FOM2009 conference and exhibition.
