All Things Cryo – a virtual course
21 to 24 September 2021
VirtualThere can be no doubt that Cryo-EM continues to be a hot topic following the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for its development. In fact many cryo-techniques have been around for over 40 years and are in use in both academic and industrial settings being applied to a full range of soft matter and materials samples beyond single particle analysis of proteins. This course looks to educate scientists and engineers to the full range of cryo-techniques, who are looking to characterise, analyse and understand structure / function of their samples where stabilisation of volatiles (often water) is required.

CINEMAX VI PhD Summer school in Denmark
23 to 27 August 2021
Fuglsang Manor on Lolland – Denmark“You will be given the opportunity to get teaching and hands-on experience with the complete workflow of high-resolution tomography analysis.
During the PhD summer school, you will be introduced to data acquisition, 3D reconstruction, segmentation and meshing and, finally, 3D modelling of data to extract physical parameters that describe mechanical and flow properties. The teaching and the exercises will take place in close interaction with top experts in the research fields. The exercises will require some basic programming skills and will be carried out in a common Python environment, introduced through an e-learning program which the students are required to follow before the PhD summer school (Introduction to Advanced Tomography on Coursera).
Details:
Participants: PhD students
Location: Fuglsang Manor on Lolland, Denmark
Registration deadline: 15 July 2021

Virtual Super-Resolution Workshop
09 July 2021
virtual MeetingDesigned to talk about the current challenges in developing and using super-resolution microscopy with short talks and lots of time for discussion, this year the workshop will be split into 2 sessions, focussing on the topics of ‘using machine learning and AI in super-resolution imaging’ and the other will be ‘expansion microscopy’. Thoughts and ideas are encouraged to help define what is good/best practice around these challenges, and give an insight into future potential developments.

European Light Microscopy Initiative 2021
22 to 25 June 2021
virtual MeetingThe 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, organized by the leading companies in the field.
Due to the current situation, the 2021 meeting will take place the first time in a virtual format. We will do our best to maintain the unique format as well as possible. The focus of the scientific sessions is on leading edge developments and its implementation to life science.

EBSD 2021
20 and 21 April 2021
Sheffield – United KingdomThe annual gathering draws together the whole Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) community, including leading international research scientists and engineers, early career researchers, and students to highlight the latest developments, from technique development through to applications.
The EBSD meeting will take place in a virtual format.
We are anticipating contributions that range in scope spanning the geoscience, materials science & engineering, and mechanical engineering disciplines, as well as emerging applications from the biological communities. Talks will likely include state-of-the-art developments in instrumentation, new software algorithms, and new techniques developments, as well as the use of EBSD, transmission Kikuchi diffraction, electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI) and related microscopy modalities. Additionally, we anticipate hearing applications driven talks which engage these approaches to reveal new insight into the microstructure of materials systems in emerging scientific applications and industrial challenges, particularly the use of EBSD data in Industry 4.0.
The meeting will be preceded in the mornings, by one of two optional workshops, for both advanced and novice users. The advanced course, delivered by Prof João Fonseca’s group at the University of Manchester, focusses on the use and understanding of High-Resolution Digital Image Correlation (HRDIC) combined with EBSD, centred on technical requirements and the underlying principles of post-processing data analysis. The novice course, delivered by Prof Brad Wynne, focusses on understanding what is under the hood of your EBSD software, with particular emphasis on maximising the potential of your EBSD data both before acquiring your data and during its analysis.

Basics of Electron Microscopy Virtual Spring School
19 to 22 April 2021
Virtual MeetingThe RMS Basics of Electron Microscopy Virtual Spring School is aimed at those seeking an introduction to electron microscopy.
The course, set across 4 afternoon sessions, will provide delegates with a mix of lectures, live microscope and sample preparation demonstration sessions, with lots of time for Q&A and discussion of participants projects. With a maximum of 10 participants per stream, we will provide plenty of opportunity for engagement with the course speakers.
The course will be delivered in three streams, TEM for biological specimens, SEM for materials and TEM for materials. Delegates will be asked to choose one stream to work within, although some of the theoretical content will be shared between the streams. By the end of the course, delegates will have an understanding of the basic anatomy of the microscope and image formation, learn general methods of sample preparation and receive an introduction to microscope operation.

High Content Imaging 2021
23 to 25 March 2021
online – United KingdomHigh content imaging (HCI) involves automated collection and analysis of images to provide quantitative data on a range of functional and morphological changes in cells, spheroids or organoids. It has become a widely used tool in cell biology and drug discovery, for example in screening of drug candidates, fragments, RNAi, miR and phenotypic screens using CRISPR-Cas9, amongst other. This meeting will introduce the power of HCI to new or inexperienced users, but will also cover current HCI case studies from leaders in the field and advances in HCI techniques and analysis. Major suppliers of HCI software and analysis will be present to demonstrate applications and uses of their HCI equipment and software. Anyone interested in HCI, whether starting out in the field or an experienced user, will benefit from attending.
