FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 2025April 13-16, 2025
Taipei, TaiwanLadies and Gentlemen, We are pleased to announce FOM2025, the upcoming conference in the FOM series. FOM2025 is scheduled to take place in Taipei, Taiwan, from Sunday, April 13 to Wednesday, April 16, 2025. Please take note that this falls in the week before Easter 2025. The conference venue will be the NTUH (National Taiwan University Hospital) International Convention Centre, No.2, Xuzhou Road, Zhongzheng District 100, Taipei City, Taiwan. The Taipei conference will commence on Sunday morning April 13 with tutorials, followed by parallel sessions, Flash poster presentations and a plenary opening session featuring invited speakers in the late afternoon. The first day will conclude with a welcome reception. A technical exhibition will be part of the FOM2025 conference. Our website https://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org will be regularly updated with relevant information on the upcoming conference. If you wish to be kept informed on updates, please leave your email address at http://signup.ymlpmail1.com/xgjeyuesgmgh. We are offering financial support to attendees from underrepresented backgrounds for the upcoming FOM2025 conference. We are pleased to announce that we will support up to 10 candidates with the aim of fostering a diverse community of scientists and students who can actively contribute to the scientific discourse. In addition we offer a limited number of conference fee waivers to retired scientists who were active in the field of microscopy. For more details, please visit the “financial support” section on our website. FOM2025 continues a long-standing (since 1988), yearly conference series on the latest innovations and developments in (optical) microscopy and their application in biology, medicine, and the material sciences. FOM is committed to advancing microscopy research and meeting the needs of participants by providing opportunities for sharing work and connecting scientists with the global scientific community. Key topics include:· Theory and practice of confocal and multiphoton-excitation microscopy· Instrumentation and microscope design· Super-resolution and nanoscopy imaging· 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· New fluorescent 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· Correlative light and electron microscopy· Laser manipulation and tracking, photo-activation· OCT, endoscopy· Fast acquisition, automated and high-content microscopy· 3D image processing and visualization for multidimensional dataAbstracts for oral and poster contributions can be submitted starting Wednesday, October 2, 2024 through our website: https://www.FocusOnMicroscopy.org where further information on the present and previous FOM conferences can be found.Important datesOpening submission of abstractsWednesday, October 2, 2024Deadline application financial supportMonday, October 21, 2024Deadline submission of abstractsTuesday, January 14, 2025Acceptance of contributions, draft program on the web Friday, February 7, 2025Deadline early registrationThursday, February 27, 2025FOM2025 ConferenceSunday, April 13 – Wednesday, April 16, 2025Easter Sunday 2025Sunday, April 20, 2025 On behalf of the FOM2025 organizers:
