For now we only announce:

The First Light Sheet based Fluorescence Microscopy Workshop

MPI-CBG, Dresden,
September 24th-25th 2009

Organizers: Pavel Tomancak (MPI-CBG, Dresden, Germany)
Emmanuel G. Reynaud (UCD, Dublin, Ireland)

The aim of the workshop to bring together the practitioners of Light Sheet based Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) from diverse fields of science including the optical engineers, computer scientists and biologists. The number of participants will be limited to about 30 by invitation only registration procedure to promote interaction during the workshop. We intend to organize four sessions that will focus on (1) the design and building of LSF microscopes, (2) sample preparation techniques, (3) image processing of LSFM data and (4) biological applications of LSFM approaches. Each session will be followed by an open discussion moderated by the session chairs. The primary aim of the workshop is to create a LSFM community and start a Wiki web page that will serve as a forum for discussion, sharing of protocols and software and exchange of ideas for future developments.

Date: September 24th-25th.

Registration: Only invitations.
