After last year’s Focus on Microscopy conference in Göttingen,  FOM2016 will take place in Taipei, Taiwan in the week before Easter from Sunday, March 20 – Wednesday, March 23, 2016. It will be the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced multi-dimensional light microscopy and image processing.

For further details please visit the FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY website www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org There in addition to general information the scientific program of this year’s Taipei and other 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. Please note also the "Search FOM data base " button for full searches over the digital FOM archive over the years.

FOM2016 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 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
- 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
- Clearing and expansion techniques.
- 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

Special FOM2016 conference topic:  “Brain imaging”

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

A technical exhibition will be an integral part of the Taipei FOM 2016 conference.
