FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2018
Singapore, March 25-28, 2018
30th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy
31st International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy

Dear Colleagues,

The detailed program of FOM2018 is now available on the website http://focusonmicroscopy.org >> program
where also the registration is open and hotel information available.

FOM2018, Singapore will be the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced multi-dimensional light microscopy and image processing. The conference will take place at:
The Singapore Expo (SingEx venues), Convention and Exhibition centre
Max Atria – Singapore Expo
1 Expo Drive #02-01, Singapore 486150<https://www.google.nl/maps/place/Singapore+Expo/@1.333986,103.9568191,17z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x31da3d288cae7f65:0x65b70aa4223aa9d7!2s1+Expo+Dr,+Singapore+486150!3b1!8m2!3d1.333986!4d103.9590078!3m4!1s0x31da3d286b6a4e81:0xaf1716f869bde0a1!8m2!3d1.3335249!4d103.9595367>

The program on Sunday 25 March will be similar to the previous conference Sunday program with (free) tutorials starting at 10:30 hrs. After lunch regular sessions will begin at 14:00 hrs followed by a Flash poster presentation session at 16:00 hrs. The Plenary opening session will start around 17:30 hrs followed by a Welcome reception.

Tutorial workshops will take place in the morning on Sunday March 25  from 10:30 to 12:45. Attendance free for registered participants.
Subjects and speakers are:

  *   Optical Design
P. Török  (Imperial College London, United Kingdom)
  *   Live- and Fixed-Cell Super-Resolution Microscopy Enabled by Open-Source Analytics in ImageJ
R. Henriques  (University College London, United Kingdom)

FOM2018 in Singapore is the continuation of a yearly conference series (since 1988) on the latest innovations and developments in mostly 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, 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
- 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 and visualization for multidimensional data

At the 2018 conference the topic “ Progress in Quantitative Bioimaging” will receive special attention. 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.
