2015 Yale Microscopy Workshop

Time:  June 2 - 4th, 2015
Location:  Yale University School of Medicine, The Anlyan Center (TAC), New Haven, CT
Cost: Free on-line or on-site registration
Information: http://microscopy.med.yale.edu/index.aspx
Features:
- Symposia on 1) Lightsheet Microscopy and 2) Cryo-EM and electron tomography
- Open access to state-of-the-art light and electron microscopes, as well as EM sample preparation equipment.
- Demonstrations, technical lectures, and walk-in clinics
- Multi vendor participation

We invite you to participate in a three day workshop. This free annual event is a combination of symposium and open access to a wide variety of fully functional microscopes. This year's workshop has two symposia, one focused on Lightsheet microscopy and the other on Cryo-EM and electron tomography. We are very pleased to announce that several recent product releases will be available for hands-on use, including Lightsheet microscopes from Leica and LaVision BioTec and a Leica Cryo-CLEM system.

This event is designed for the busy researcher who wants to explore new techniques, see the latest in instrumentation, or simply get needed advice from vendor representatives. Reservations can be made for many of the instruments after registration. View this as an opportunity to perform a "surgical strike" exploration without any financial or time commitments. Feel free to come for advice from vendor representatives or to try out a microscope even if you are not attending a class or a seminar.

It is open to the international research community and only requires free registration. Please see the website for free registration, a schedule of events, and list of equipment. http://microscopy.med.yale.edu/index.aspx

Please feel free to disseminate information about this workshop by word-of-mouth or through email at your institution. Need to try out an instrument that is not on the list but manufactured by a vendor that is already participating? Write to an organizer and we'll see if they can bring it.

We look forward to seeing you there - please reserve early.
