Focus on Microscopy 2011 will take place in Konstanz, Germany from April 17 to April 20, 2011.
The conference will start around 6 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday the 17th April with a plenary opening session followed by a welcome reception. A number of free tutorials are planned for the Sunday afternoon starting at 14:00. The conference excursion will take place on the afternoon/evening of the last day of the conference, April 20.
The conference will be hosted by the University of Konstanz at its campus near the city. Details regarding registration, abstract submission, deadlines, etc. will become available at a later moment on this website. When you wish to be kept informed please leave your email address here.
Focus on Microscopy 2011 is the continuation of a yearly conference series presenting the latest innovations in optical microscopy and their application in biology, medicine and the material sciences. Key subjects for the conference series are the theory and practice of 3D optical imaging, related 3D image processing, and reporting especially on developments in resolution and imaging modalities. The conference series is covers also the rapidly advancing fluorescence labeling techniques for the confocal and multi-photon 3D imaging of -live- biological specimens.
Typical topics of the upcoming FOM conference will include:
• Theory and practice of confocal and multiphoton-excitation microscopys
• 3D and 4D live cell and tissue imaging
• Super-resolution, nanoscopy imaging: from PSF engineering (4pi, SIM, STED), fluorescent activation/quenching, stochastic/centroid to TIRF
• Time-resolved fluorescence: FRET, FRAP, FLIM, FCS
• Coherent non-linear microscopies: SHG, THG, SFG, CARS.
• Multi-dimensional fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy imaging
• Laser manipulation, ablation and micro-dissection, photo-activation
• Applications in Biomedical Engineering (bio- and nanomaterials, biosensors)
• OCT, endoscopy
• Fast acquisition, automated and high-throughput microscopy techniques
• 3D image processing and visualization for multidimensional data
A technical exhibition will be an integral part of the Konstanz FOM2011 conference.
The programs of the previous FOM conferences from 2004 onwards together with the one page abstracts of contributions can be viewed in PDF format on this website by clicking the History button on the left and selecting the conference year.
The FOM2011 conference incorporates the
* 24th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy
* 23rd International Conference on Confocal Microscopy
Preparation of Abstracts
Contributed papers covering original work in the topics of FOM2011 will be accepted for presentation, either as oral or poster. This abstract, of up to one page, must be a camera-ready form for direct reproduction. The text has to be typed in 12-point, Times, single spaced only. The title of the talk and authors' names, affiliations, complete return addresses or e-mail address must appear on the top of the pages typed in 12-point bold and centered. Cite references at the end of the abstract. For details, please refer to the Authors manual. The abstract must be formatted for printout on A4-size (210x297mm, 8.27x11.69in) with 25mm (or 1 inch) margins on all sides. Micrographs and other illustrations (monochrome only) are welcomed but must within a page.
Submission of Abstracts
The FOM2011 abstract can be submitted electronically in PDF (portable document file format) via the abstract submit/upload form. Links:
* Authors manual
* Abstract upload form
The deadline for submission of abstracts is January 17, 2011. Abstracts can still be submitted after that date, however only for possible inclusion in the poster session.
