FOM2019 up-dated programme on the website. Registration open – early registration by March 7. Inclusivity statement. Tutorials.

FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2019
London, April 14-17, 2019
incorporating:
31st International Conference on Confocal Microscopy
32nd International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy

Dear Colleagues,

The up-dated programme of FOM2019 is now available on the website: focusonmicroscopy.org  ,where also participants can register and hotel information is available.

There has been justified criticism of the balance of the invited talks in the original programme of FOM and on the lack of representation of women. The updated programme now includes 11 plenary lectures of which 4 will be given by women scientists. A further statement on Inclusivity is available on the homepage of the website.

FOM2019, London 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 Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) conference centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE, UK
located adjacent to the Big Ben, the Parliament building and Westminster Abbey.

The FOM2019 London conference will commence on Sunday morning 14 April with free tutorials starting at 10:30. Afternoon regular sessions will begin at 14:00 followed by a flash poster presentation session at 16:00. The Sunday plenary symposium will start around 17:45 followed by a welcome reception.

Tutorial workshops will take place in the morning on Sunday April 14 from 10:30 to 12:45. Attendance free for registered participants. Subjects and speakers are:

  *   Measuring Molecular Dynamics by Fluorescence Recovery after Photobleaching (FRAP) and Single Particle Tracking (SPT) K. Braeckmans (Ghent University, Belgium)
  *   Micro-Brillouin and Micro-Raman Correlative Studies for Structural and Viscoelastic Characterization of Cells and Tissues D. Fioretto (Department of Physics and Geology, University of Perugia, Italy)
  *   A Tutorial on Adaptive Optics for Dynamic Aberration Correction in Microscopy C. Paterson [invited] (Imperial College London, United Kingdom)
  *   Fixation and Sample Processing Issues for Super-Resolution Microscopy S.O. Rizzoli (University Medical Center Göttingen, Germany)

For further details please visit the FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY website: focusonmicroscopy.org There, in addition to general information, the scientific program of previous FOM conferences – together with PDF’s of presented abstracts - can be found under the link “Past conferences”.

FOM2019 in London will be the continuation of a yearly conference series (since 1988) on the latest innovations and developments predominantly 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
  *   Light sheet microscopy
  *   Phase/interference based microscopies
  *   OCT, holographic, endoscopy
  *   Advanced fluorescence imaging/spectroscopy: FRET, FRAP, FLIM, FCS, SOFI
  *   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, analysis and visualization for multidimensional data
  *   Development of advanced fluorescence labelling techniques for (super)-resolution and multi-photon 3D imaging of live biological specimens..
