FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2005               Jena , Germany  March 20-23, 2005
        18th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
        17th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy

Dear Colleagues

Abstracts  for oral  and poster presentations are invited. Submission
preferably  through the conference website:
        http://focusonmicroscopy.org/
where  also the conference registration  has been opened and hotel booking
information  is available.

Deadline for abstract  submission:  Jan. 20 2005.

The program for the Abbe symposium, starting Sunday March 20, 15.00 hrs,
is now be found on the website.  Renowned speakers  have agreed to
contribute: from  Ulrich  Simon  on the history  of "Abbe  and Jena"  to
Roger Tsien  and A. Miyawakii   on the development and application of GFP
–and spectral variants-  in  2D and 3D fluorescence microscopy.
In 2005 it will  be 100 years ago that Ernst Abbe died in Jena. The
symposion is organised to honor his unique contributions to high
resolution microscopy and will take place in the historical Volkshaus
building in Jena, designed by Abbe himself!

As the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced
multi-dimensional light microscopy and image processing  the FOM2005
conference will  take place on the University  campus of the Friedrich
Schiller University in the center of Jena.  Co-hosted by the Fraunhofer
Institute of Biomedical Technology (IBMT) the conference will  pay this
year special  attention to the use of laser light as an active tool at
sub-micrometer length scales for cell biology, nano-biotechnology and
medicine. This, in addition to reporting on recent advances in multi-mode
fluorescence and non-linear high resolution microscopy. Also important
developments in neighboring fields will   be signaled.

All information on present and previous FOM conferences can be found at
above website.

Welcoming  you in Jena for the FOM2005 conference and exhibition.
on behalf of the organising  committee:

Karsten  König, Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany, IBMT, St.
Ingbert  Germany
