Advanced Optical Microscopy and Micromanipulation
February 25 -27, 2013
Symposium at the University of Münster
Poster session | Poster award | Guided tours | Hands-on sessions
| > Agenda of the Symposium | |
| Novel developments in advanced optical microscopy do not only aim at highest resolution or novel imaging methods but also at the integaration of multiple imaging and manipulation modes into a single system. These multimodal workstations are a highly topical subjects at interdisciplinary conferences or projects. Important state-of-the-art techniques include various fluorescence modes, STED-techniques, and nonlinear (two-photon) imaging as well as spectroscopical methods (Raman/CARS), micro- and optofluidic methods, and complex dynamic optical tweezers. The aim of this symposium is to provide an overview of the state-ofthe-art of the di fferent technologies, discuss recent advances, and Indicate potentials of the multimodal approach for biophysical and biomedical investigations. On the third day, participants may bring their own sample to use available techniques for measurements. Lab tours in diff erent CiM laboratories will be organized. |
