FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2009 - Krakow, Poland, 5-8 April 2009
22nd International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
21st International Conference on Confocal Microscopy
Dear Colleagues,
January 19, 2009, the deadline for abstract submission for the Krakow FOM2009 conference is nearing. Please submit your abstract by that date.
Abstracts for oral and poster presentations can be submitted preferably through the conference website: http://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org where also the conference registration has opened and hotel information is available.
The program for the conference will be finalized and available on our website on Feb. 10, 2009. Authors will be informed individually by E-mail on the placement of their contribution in the program.
After the successful FOM2008 conference held in Osaka in April 2008, the next conference: Focus on Microscopy 2009 will take place in Krakow, Poland, in the week before Easter from Sunday April 5 to Wednesday April 8, 2009. As the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced multidimensional light microscopy and image processing, the conference will be hosted by Jagiellonian University in Krakow, at the Auditorium Maximum of the Jagiellonian University, in the center of this historic and beautiful city.
Focus on Microscopy 2009 is the continuation of a yearly conference series presenting the latest innovations and new trends in optical microscopy and their application in biology, medicine and material sciences.
Key subjects are:
- the theory and practice of multidimensional optical microscopies,
- the high spatial resolution and sophisticated excitation (SHG, Raman, THG, OCS) and fluorescence imaging modes (FRET, FLIM, FRAP, FCS etc.) coming available,
- new techniques for functional studies and manipulation of cells and tissues,
- automated and high-throughput microscopy techniques,
- related image processing and analysis approaches.
The conference series is, in addition, known for covering the rapid development of advanced fluorescence labeling techniques for the confocal and multi-photon 3D imaging of -live- biological specimens. Laser light based activation and quenching techniques integrated with 3D microscopy are becoming important tools in cell biology.
Important dates:
Deadline for the submission of abstracts: January 19, 2009
Acceptance of contributions, draft program: February 10, 2009
Deadline for early registration: February 28, 2009
