FOM2017 program on the web. Early registration by March 2. Tutorials.

Focus on Microscopy 2017
Bordeaux, France. April 9-12, 2017
incorporates:
30h International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
29th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy

Dear Colleagues

The detailed program of FOM2017 is now available on the website
http://focusonmicroscopy.org >> program
where also the registration is open and hotel information available.

FOM2017, Bordeaux will be the next in a series of unique interdisciplinary meetings on advanced multi-dimensional light microscopy and image processing. The conference will take place at:
Palais des Congrès de Bordeaux, Convention Center
Avenue Jean Gabriel Domergue, 33300 Bordeaux, France

Note: Different Sunday program FOM2017 from previous years!
The (free) tutorials start at 10:30, Sunday morning, 9 April. After lunch, regular sessions begin at 14:00 hours followed by a Flash poster presentation session at 16:00. The Plenary opening session will start around 17:30 followed by a Welcome reception. For details see the program on the website.

The tutorial workshops take place in the morning on Sunday April 9 from 10:30 to 12:45. Attendance is free for registered participants. Subjects and speakers are:
• A Tutorial on Controlling Wavefronts with Spatial Light Modulators
A.J. Jesacher [invited], Jesacher (Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria)
• Tutorial - Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy: from Basic Theory to Applications T. Wohland [invited] (National University of Singapore, Singapore)
• Tutorial on Structured Illumination Microscopy
S. Abrahamsson [invited] (The Rockefeller University, United States)
• Tutorial on Quantitative Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy
J.B. Sibarita [invited] (CNRS UMR 5297, University of Bordeaux, France)

FOM2017 in Bordeaux 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 material 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, SOFI
- 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 microscopies, light/electron, et al.
- Laser manipulation and tracking, photo-activation
- Fast acquisition, automated and high-content microscopy
- 3D image processing and visualization for multidimensional data

At the 2017 conference the topic “ Single object - molecule, Quantum Dot, Nanotube- based imaging will receive special attention. The conference series is in addition known for covering the development of advanced fluorescence labeling techniques for (super)- resolution and multi-photon 3D imaging of -live- biological specimens.
