Dear All

mmc2017 is now only 3 weeks away! The free exhibition will not only offer a huge range of free microscopy training opportunities but will also Europe's largest microscopy and imaging exhibition!

Alongside over 100 manufacturers and suppliers to speak to, the Microscience Microscopy Congress exhibition will play host to a large number of free learning opportunities taking place each day from Tuesday 4 – Thursday 6 July.

Commercial Workshops
Dotted around the hall will be the four workshop areas, each hosting their own daily programme of drop-in, informative workshops presented by industry experts. From strain mapping to LED illumination and sample prep to in situ microscopy there are plenty to choose from, each going towards helping you achieve the most accurate and reliable data possible.
You can view the commercial workshop programme at www.mmc-series.org.uk/workshops

Learning Zone
The Learning Zone is a unique feature of the mmc-series and will include seven areas including TEM, SPM, Digital Microscopy and Sample Preparation and each will feature equipment and impartial experts ready to offer advice and answer your questions. The Seminar Theatre will again host its only daily timetable of introductory talks including a few new presentations for this year such as Light Sheet Microscopy, Journal of Microscopy Author Workshops and Developing your Career.

Poster Village
Filling the back of the exhibition, the poster village is where you will find over 150 posters submitted to the mmc2017 conference. The work spans all disciplines in both physical and life sciences and many detail some really interesting cross-disciplinary collaborative work. You can browse the posters at any time during the mmc2017 and can discuss the research with the authors during the poster sessions from 4pm on the Tuesday and Wednesday.
