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 techniques: 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, whole animal fluorescence • Automated and high-throughput microscopy techniques • 3D Image processing and visualization for multidimensional data

A technical exhibition will be a feature of the Konstanz FOM2011 conference.
