Getting the most from your Confocal Course, 12 – 13 July 2023
12 and 13 July 2023
York – United KingdomThis two day annual confocal course 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 two days consist of short tutorials followed by hands-on practice.Day 1 takes participants through the basic principles of confocal microscopy and then trains them, through hands-on practice, how to configure and image multicolour, multidimensional samples using a confocal microscope.Day 2 builds on the experience of Day 1 and enables participants to try FRAP and spectral profiling.

Quantitative Phase Imaging and cell migration
08 February 2023
Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) is a novel label-free microscopy technique bringing an utterly new contrast into the live-cell imaging field. It allows for extracting quantitative data from unlabeled cells and monitoring them non-invasively. Another benefit of QPI technology is the ability to precisely segment cells due to the incoherent light source used in Q-Phase. The seminar will explain the principle of technology and show the broad range of applications focusing on label-free analysis, such as cell growth, cell death, cell migration, and others. The webinar will be held in English.

European FIB Network - 5th EuFN Workshop
30 August to 02 September 2022
Hamburg – GermanyThis year, we will host the event at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, from Aug. 30th until Sept. 2nd. We aim for a similar reach on the 100-150 participants of key FIB users mostly within Europe, and will invite 3-5 keynote speakers globally to join our meeting. We would welcome all EMS representatives promoting the society at the workshop, and appreciate if you could announce our event on your homepage.
So far, we were fortunate to keep the registration free for all participants due to the generous contributions. This allowed us to offer refreshments during the workshop breaks as well as a conference dinner to exchange ideas in a more informal setting. I am pleased that this years venue, the historic sail boat Rickmer Rickmers with a view over Hamburgs harbor, will capture both Hanseatic tradition as well as the cities future developments. As you have kindly supported last years event, I would like to ask if you were interested in doing it again this year.I thank you for your consideration and hope to see EMS in Hamburg soon,
