23rd international European Light Microscopy Initiative meeting (ELMI)

Liverpool, UK, 4-7 June, 2024

The European Light Microscopy Initiative was created in 2001 to establish a unique communication network between European scientists working in the field of light microscopy and the manufacturers of their equipment. Its aim is to promote the quickly developing field of light microscopy as a fundamental research tool for the life sciences and to strengthen the channels of communication between researchers, core facilities and industry.

The annual meeting, which has been running for two decades at various venues across Europe, has an excellent reputation within the microscopy community, making this meeting a key event in the calendar of hundreds of scientists and developers. The strength of this meeting lies in the mixture of scientific lectures on state-of-the-art, high-end microscopy combined with “hands-on” workshops and exhibition of the latest technology, organised by the leading companies in the field.

  • Deadline abstract submission: 1 February 2024
  • Acceptance of abstracts/final program online: mid March
  • Deadline early fee participants: 9 April 2024

huygens expert workshop

online, 16-17 April, 2024

This free workshop is suited for all microscopists. Experience with the Huygens Software is not required.

As a microscopist and/or facility member, you are aware of imaging pitfalls and the need to fix them with the purpose of staying true to the real object. To reach this goal and teach this to your users, it is crucial to select the right image processing tools, and to use them in the correct order and manner. During this virtual workshop, we will discuss pitfalls in image acquisition and issues that are typically found when using certain imaging modalities.

Furthermore, we will show newly acquired data that proves that the “Pyramid of Frustration” can be enlarged – even with noisy data. Deconvolution is explained by our experts, and the brand-new Huygens Image Quality Control tool is demonstrated. Hands-on sessions focus on using imaging pipelines, command line interfaces (Python), and various image restoration and analysis options. Different Huygens solutions tailored to individual users, research groups, and imaging facilities will be presented, and we’ll discuss with you how we can share educational material, and contribute to trainings on-site.

Principles of Light Microscopy Advanced Course

Champalimaud Foundation, Lisbon, PT, 15-19 April, 2024

The ABBE Imaging Facility at the Champalimaud Foundation, in collaboration with the microscopists’ community of the Lisbon-Oeiras area and ZEISS, is proud to announce the first edition of the Advanced Course on the Principles of Light Microscopy.

The course is scheduled to take place at the Champalimaud Institute in Lisbon from April 15 to April 19, 2024, and will be limited to 20 students.

The objective of the course is to provide participants with in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of the basics of image formation and microscopy, from light sources to detectors. This will be achieved through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practical sessions. The course features a unique format with ten specialised teachers and ten microscopes dedicated to the 20 attendees throughout the week.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore optical elements, understanding their functions, and learning how to tune and align them, all while working with screwdrivers in hand.
