FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2006, Perth, Australia, April 9-12, 2006
	19th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
	18th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy

Dear Colleagues

After the successful FOM2005 conference held in Jena in March this year,
it is a pleasure to announce that the next conference: Focus on Microscopy
2006 will take place in Perth, Western Australia, April 9-12, 2006.  As
the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced
multidimensional light microscopy and image processing, the conference
will be hosted by the University of Western Australia in Perth.  The
conference will be located at the beautiful Esplanade Hotel in the
historic waterfront suburb of Perth, Fremantle.

Focus on Microscopy 2006 is the continuation of a successful conference
series presenting the latest innovations in optical microscopy and its
applications in biology, medicine, material science, and information
storage.  3D optical imaging and related theory are important subjects for
the conference.  The series is as relevant now as at any time in its
history as the scientific and engineering communities strive to meet the
needs of a surging life sciences sector, as well as respond to the
sustained pressure for miniaturization in lithography and data storage.

The conference series is known for covering the rapid development of
advanced fluorescence labelling techniques for the confocal and
multi-photon 3D imaging of  -live-  biological specimens.  This year, in
addition, special attention will be given to imaging in thick tissues and
the use of laser light as an active tool at sub-micrometer length scales
for cell biology, nanobiotechnology, and medicine.

Abstracts for contributions are invited and can already be submitted
through the website:
www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org
where further information on the present and previous FOM conferences can
be found.

Important dates:
                       Deadline for the submission of abstracts: 	January 
 9,  2006
                       Acceptance of contributions, draft program:
	January  23,  2006
                       Deadline for early registration: 		February 20, 2006

We would be very pleased to welcome you to Perth for the FOM2006
conference and exhibition.

On behalf of the organising committee,
