FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2016
Taipei, Taiwan, March 20- 23, 2016
Incorporates the:
29th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
28th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy

Dear Colleagues,

After the successful FOM2015 conference held in Göttingen earlier this year, it is a pleasure to announce FOM2016. The next Focus on Microscopy conference will take place in Taipei, Taiwan in the week before Easter from Sunday, March 20 – Wednesday, March 23, 2016.

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 NTUH (National Taiwan University Hospital) International Convention Center<http://t.ymlp349.com/uearaeeeeqapauuanaeehj/click.php>, No. 2, Xuzhou Road, Zhongzheng District 100, Taipei City, Taiwan.

For further details please visit the FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY website www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org<http://t.ymlp349.com/umapaeeeeqafauuapaeehj/click.php>.There in addition to general information the scientific program of this year’s Göttingen 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.

Abstracts for contributions are invited and can already be submitted through the website: 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        December 22, 2015
