Dear Microscopy enthusiasts,

The NALM event is around the corner, program is now complete with 12 lectures on Nov 17th and hands-on sessions on Nov 18 and 19, we encourage bringing samples !

To download the program & register, click on the following link :  http://axiomoptics.com/events/the-1st-new-approaches-in-light-microscopy-workshop/ <http://axiomoptics.com/events/the-1st-new-approaches-in-light-microscopy-workshop/>

The following microscopy techniques will be explored  :

- Adaptive optics for microscopy
Adaptive optics is a new technique used to increase SNR, imaging depth and resolutions of light microscopy techniques by correcting optical aberrations.
It is currently used on super-resolution, spinning disk confocal and non linear microscopy techniques.
Fore more information go to http://www.imagine-optic.com/en/applications/microscopy/ <http://www.imagine-optic.com/en/applications/microscopy/>

- Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging microscopy ( FLIM)
Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy or FLIM is an imaging technique producing an image based on the differences in the exponential decay rate of the fluorescence <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence> from a fluorescent sample. FLIM is commonly used to measure FRET efficiency, protein- protein interactions, oxygenation and more.
Fore more information go to http://www.lambertinstruments.com/lifa <http://www.imagine-optic.com/en/applications/microscopy/>

- Spatial Light Interference Imaging microscopy (SLIM)
Spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) is a new label-free technique, capable of measuring nanoscale structures and dynamics in live cells via interferometry.
Using SLIM, cell volume, height and dry mass or example can be measured in-vitro for long periods of time.
Fore more information go to http://phioptics.com/technology/overview/ <http://www.imagine-optic.com/en/applications/microscopy/>

- Micro-spectroscopy
Micro spectroscopy is a technique combining the power of microscopy and spectroscopy.  Using a spectrograph attached with a microscope,  the spectra of electromagnetic energy reflected, transmitted or absorbed by a microscopic sample can be measured with a resolution better than 0.1 nm.
Fore more information go to http://www.princetoninstruments.com/products/spec/isoplane/ <http://www.imagine-optic.com/en/applications/microscopy/>

Commercial microscopy set-ups from Imagine Optic, Lambert Instruments, PhiOptics and Princeton Instruments will be available for hands-on sessions, we encourage bringing samples !

We hope to see you at this event,

No women at a meeting in Harvard, that's Harvard USA in 2015.

An interesting an relevant interview: This mathematical formula shows that
all-male panels are sexist http://qz.com/524694/524694/

I wonder if "women in optics" has a list of female speakers? Or at least
there has to be a list of 'not-greybeards'?
Alternatively (and I've found this to work with some success) is that when
invites are sent out, politely ask if the person can provide a
recommendation for someone else if they are going to decline the invite.
This does a better job of mixing up the 'usual suspects'.

Cheers,
M

Hello Jeremy,

I do hear your point but I think you are picking the wrong enemy here and you are making a rather quick judgment without knowing how the selection/invitation process went for this event.

First, Harvard has nothing to do with who gives lectures, so if there is any blame, it would be entirely mine.

My personal views on inequality  is on the very progressive side  to say the least so I do understand the issue.

You make a point about women, and I agree this is an issue in our societies, but to be fair, I think you actually need to extend this to other categories of people who are regularly discriminated against : people of color , people with different sex orientation , and people coming from different socio-economic origins !

For this event, we did invite women speakers but they unfortunately declined because of availability.
Our  selection/invitation process for the lectures is not only driven by speakers expertise in the technique, it is also depending on their availability,  and financial burden.

As a small company of 5 people, do we have the means to be perfectly fair with everyone  ? Probably not, and that is a limitation, but i think we are doing our best.

This workshop is a bit special,  not the regular type of event where widespread microscopy techniques ( such as confocal or light sheet for example)  are discussed are where you can find hundred of speakers , and hundreds of vendors.

The point of this event is to present very new optical techniques that are starting to be applied to microscopy, and there are very few people who can speak about  these techniques today because they are so new at this point.  Putting together an event with speakers as well as hands on sessions on these techniques, is quite a challenge.
But we hope the researchers and students attending this event will appreciate the opportunity we are giving them to have access to this information for very little cost.

For this year, I think we are pretty much done with the program as the event is coming very soon.

However, for next year,  there is definitely an opportunity for new speakers !

So, if anyone wants to speak on the techniques mentioned and discussed in this workshop, please contact me !


Kind regards,
