FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2015
Göttingen, Germany, March 29 - April 1, 2015
1st announcement
28th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
27th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy


Dear Colleagues,

After the successful FOM2014 conference held in Sydney earlier this year, it is a pleasure to announce FOM2015, the next Focus on Microscopy conference. It will take place in Göttingen, Germany, in the week before Easter from Sunday March 29 – Wednesday April 1, 2015.

This conference 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 Lokhalle, Göttingen, Germany.

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 the Sydney and other previous FOM conferences can be found at 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 database " button for full searches over the digital FOM archive over the years.

FOM2015 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
  *   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 2015 conference the topic “Super-resolution techniques and applications” 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.

Important dates/deadlines:

Deadline for the submission of abstracts        January 20, 2015
Acceptance contributions/program on the web
        February 10, 2015
Deadline for early registration February 25, 2015
