FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2018
Singapore, March 25-28, 2018
30th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy
31st International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
Dear Colleagues,
After the successful FOM2017 conference in Bordeaux, FOM2018, Singapore will host the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced and multi-dimensional light microscopy and image processing. The conference will take place at;
The Singapore Expo (SingEx venues), Convention and Exhibition centre
Max Atria – Singapore Expo
1 Expo Drive #02-01, Singapore 486150
For further details please visit the FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY website www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org. There, in addition to general information, the scientific program of previous FOM conferences – together with PDF’s of presented abstracts- can be found under the link “Past conferences”
Please note that the program on Sunday 25 March will be similar to the FOM2017 Bordeaux Sunday program with (free) tutorials starting at 10:30 hrs. After lunch regular sessions will begin at 14:00 hrs followed by a Flash poster presentation session at 16:00 hrs. The Plenary opening session will start around 17:30 hrs followed by a Welcome reception.
FOM2018 in Singapore is the continuation of a yearly conference series (since 1988) on the latest innovations and developments in mostly optical microscopy and their application in biology, medicine, and materials 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
- Light sheet microscopy
- Phase/interference based microscopies
- OCT, holographic, endoscopy
- 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.
- Multi-dimensional fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy imaging
- Correlated light/electron microscopy
- Laser manipulation and tracking, photo-activation
- OCT, endoscopy
- Fast acquisition, automated and high-content microscopy
- 3D image processing and visualization for multidimensional data
At the 2018 conference the topic “ Progress in Quantitative Bioimaging” will receive special attention. 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.
