FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2014
Abstracts and Registration open
Sydney, Australia, April 13 – 16, 2014

27th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
26th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy


Dear Colleagues,

Abstracts for oral and poster presentations can now be submitted through the conference website: www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org<http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org> where also the conference registration has opened and hotel information is available.

Deadline for abstract submission: Wednesday, January 14, 2014.

After the successful FOM2013 conference held in Maastricht earlier this year, it is a pleasure to announce FOM2014, the next Focus on Microscopy conference. It will take place in Sydney, Australia, in the week before Easter from Sunday April 13 to Wednesday April 16, 2014.

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 can be found under the link “Past conferences”. From 2004 onwards together with links in the scientific program to one page PDF abstracts of the contributions presented in that year. Also a “Search” function is available on the site.

FOM2014 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 materials 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 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
  *   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

At the 2014 conference the topic  “Correlated and integrated light electron microscopy” will receive special attention.

The conference series is in addition known for covering the rapid development of advanced fluorescence labeling techniques for confocal and multi-photon 3D imaging of -live- biological specimens.

Abstracts for contributions are invited and can already be submitted through the website: www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org<http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org> where further information on the present and previous FOM conferences can be found.
A technical exhibition will be an integral part of the Sydney FOM 2014 conference.

Important dates:

Deadline for the submission of abstracts        January 14, 2014
Acceptance notification of contributions        February 11, 2014
Deadline for early registration March 11, 2014
FOM2014 Conference      April 13-16, 2014
Easter Sunday 2014      April 20, 2014
