Invitation to the 14th European Light Microscopy Initiative meeting

Dear Sir/Madam                                                                                                                                                                

On behalf of the ELMI 2014 organizing committee we are pleased to invite you
to the 14th ELMI meeting in Oslo 20-23 May, 2014. The ELMI meeting provides
a unique opportunity to experience first-hand the latest cutting-edge imaging
equipment in concert with unpublished work in the field of life science.
Devoted specialists and students come together at the ELMI meetings to share
their expertise and ideas, take part in numerous workshops covering all the
latest microscope techniques in this very fast developing field. The research
talks will cover a range of fields in the genre of life science and offer insights
into the implementation of future imaging methods.

This year we have chosen to have a "compact meeting"; that is a meeting in a
large hotel which accommodates all participants in a site that is remote
enough to gather people around the clock. The chosen meeting venue is
Holmenkollen Park Hotel Rica. This is a beautiful hotel that combines
Norwegian character and environment with internationally high standard
conference facilities. Leisure options include a pool, hot tub, sauna and a gym
and fantastic surroundings for hiking , etc. The hotel is situated “on top of
Oslo”, just 55km from Gardermoen, Oslo's main international airport. We have
reserved the entire hotel, including a 1000 m2 drive-in exhibition hall
“Valhall”.

We here provide a preliminary list of topics that will be covered during the
meeting:

o   Live Super Resolution
o   Imaging Applications in Super Resolution
o   High Content Imaging/Systems Biology
o   Light Sheet Based Fluorescence Microscopy
o   Functional Imaging, Probes, Sensors
o   Physics and Future Techniques in Imaging
o   Correlative Imaging
