The next RMS LM Facility Managers Meeting aimed at people running or working in light microscopy facilities will be held at the Francis Crick Institute.
From very humble beginnings, this meeting series has grown to a much more significant and influential community of facility managers. Numbers of attendees have grown 10 fold since the first meeting in 2006 as more and more facilities have opened. We now represent one of the best organised facility groupings in the UK if not indeed the world.
Following on from previous years, you can expect to find out more on the latest developments in Bioimaging and how we can feed in to wider international groups that are starting up. We will also discuss some of the basic elements (funding, impact measures) of running a core facility as well as the latest technological and application developments that effect ourselves and our users.

Inscription avant le 9 octobre 2017 via le portail de formation du CNRS, Rubrique “Connaissances scientifiques” : https://admin.core-cloud.net/ou/SMUT/PFM/Lists/OFFRE%20REGIONALE%20IdF/Programme%202017.aspx
Imaging cells and molecular structures at the highest resolution has proven to be essential to study chromatin organization and cell cycle choreography of chromosomes, but also to analyze complex molecular machineries that act on DNA. During multi-im2017 one day and a half workshop, 3D_CHROME experts will share their knowledge on state-of-the-art imaging techniques, from live-cell imaging to high-resolution structural analyses. Keynote talks will be given by two external invited speakers.
multi-im2017 is organized in two sessions:
- Cell-cycle choreography of chromosomes
- Replication, Recombination, and Repair
Join us as well for the three round tables (Live cell Imaging / AFM, EM, cryoEM / Super-resolution) and one Poster Session
The workshop will take place on September 18-19, 2017 in Gif-sur-Yvette, France.
The workshop is aimed at scientists with background in biology and imaging, including PhD students, engineers, young and senior scientists. Participation in the workshop is free but with obligatory registration (see Registration page on this website). Registration is limited to 150 participants, on a first-come basis.
This international course is aimed at both life science and clinical science fields, with the common fundamentals covered on day 1 and 2. The course then splits into life science and clinical orientated modules, from practical demonstrations to lectures highlighting not just the applications, but best practise as well.
The course is constructed as a set of three modules. You can elect to attend the Course from between two to five days, depending on the Modules selected.
The Modules consist of lectures interspersed with sessions in the laboratory. It is anticipated that instruments from three manufacturers will be available for practical work.

The 8th Abercrombie meeting, celebrating the work of Michael Abercrombie, will be held from 11-14 September 2017 in Oxford and will address the key, exciting new findings and emerging approaches in the study of cell migration across a range of biological contexts, both in vitro and in vivo as well as providing an excellent platform for open and constructive discussions between researchers from world-leading labs.
Poster abstract submission and registration are open!
Electron microscopy PhD course
15th to 20th of October 2017, Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy, University of Copenhagen.
All details are available here: http://cfim.ku.dk/events/em-2017/
The course provides an essential grounding in the basic principles of electron microscopy, including electron optics, electromagnetic lenses, principles of transmission and scanning electron microscopy, electron sources, vacuum systems, specimen-electron interactions and diffraction. Biological specimen preparation will constitute a major part of the course, including methods of chemical fixation and cryo-preservation. Finally, advanced electron microscope techniques such as Cryo-techniques, immunogold labeling, electron tomography, and data analysis/visualization will be introduced towards the end of the course. The state-of-the-art facilities available at CFIM allow for a strong practical element, with time for each student to gain hands-on experience of both transmission and scanning electron microscopes. The course will be run by experienced microscopists in a relaxed atmosphere with the aim of promoting discussion and exchange of ideas between students and tutors.
The registration deadline is the 15th of September 2017.
We are pleased to announce the Coalition for Live Imaging Paris-Saclay (CLIPS) 2017 Symposium.
CLIPS 2017 is dedicated to highlighting innovative technologies in live imaging, spanning multiple scales from architectural and molecular microscopy to the modeling of biological processes. By probing and predicting the cellular state in a living organism, the aim is to unravel the processes underlying the building of a normal or a pathological state (adaptability, pathogenesis, therapeutic).
For its first edition, CLIPS 2017 also aims at gathering multidisciplinary scientists from the University Paris-Saclay and wider community to promote collaboration and innovation. Please join the round table, too (Tuesday September 12th, 5-6pm) just before the gala dinner!
Target audience: multidisciplinary scientists in the fields of live imaging
The single-molecule localization microscopy symposium (SMLMS) 2017, is a 3 day conference being held at Guy’s Campus, King’s College London between August 30th and September 1st.
Registration is open until July 28th.
Abstract submission deadline: June 30th.
More information & registration: http://smlms.org/
Abstract submission deadline extended to May 26th
After 14 years, the Multinational Congress on Microscopy will again be organized in Croatia on September 24-29, 2017. In its 13th issue, the traditional conference series is returning to Istria, this time to the beautiful coastal town of Rovinj.
MCM2017 is jointly organized by 8 societies: Austrian Society for Electron Microscopy (ASEM), Croatian Microscopy Society (CMS), Czechoslovak Microscopy Society (CSMS), Hungarian Society for Microscopy (HSM), Italian Society of Microscopical Sciences (SISM), Serbian Society for Microscopy (SSM), Slovenian Society for Microscopy (SDM) and Turkish Society for Electron Microscopy (TEMD).
MCM2017 will bring together leading experts and young researchers that develop microscopy methods and apply them in the fields of life and material sciences. It will also include a trade exhibition in order to encourage exchange between the producers of microscopy-related equipment and researchers.
MCM conferences have always been an excellent opportunity for microscopists to exchange ideas and experience and to establish new cooperations and joint projects. Our aim is to provide an optimal balance between talks given by world-renowned scientists and a possibility for talented young scientists to introduce themselves to an international audience.
We believe this conference will be a highly rewarding professional and networking experience for all. Additionally, we encourage you to take this opportunity to explore the highlights of coastal town Rovinj with its beautiful surroundings and to experience the unique local blend of nature, culture and gastronomy.
NEUBIAS, the network for bioimage analysts, is organizing a second training school for facility staff. Training is open for all staff scientists, graduate students, post-docs or faculty who work in the context of Bioimaging facilities and provide assistance and training to users in need of Bioimage Data Analysis.
Topics, requirements, program and more: http://eubias.org/NEUBIAS/training-schools/staff/ts5-gothenburg2017/
Extended deadline for abstracts submission: May 26, 2017
This 2 day annual confocal course from the RMS utilises many different sample types and fluorescent probes (DNA stains, classic antibody labels and fluorescent proteins) which are chosen to best demonstrate particular problems and techniques. Focus is always on the techniques they enable and the problems they generate, which will be applicable to any sample types. The 2-days consist of short tutorials followed by hands-on practice.
Day 1 takes participants through the basic principles of confocal microscopy and then trains through hands-on practice how to configure and image multicolour, multidimensional samples using a confocal microscope.
Day 2 builds on the experiences of day 1 and enables participants to try FRAP and spectral profiling.
