The RMS Flow Cytometry Course, held at the University of York, is aimed at both clinical applications and applications in cell biology, with the common fundamentals covered on Day 1 and 2. The course then splits into clinical applications and applications in cell biology streams, 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 two manufacturers will be available for practical work.

This course is open to all and is suitable for those who are relatively new to flow cytometry and who wish to expand their experience with applications and specific analysis.

JEELS 2024
02 to 04 July 2024
Toulouse – France
We are delighted to announce the 13th edition of the “Journées de l’EELS “: JEELS 2024 congress, which will take place in Toulouse in the CEMES laboratory, from 2nd to 4th of July 2024. In the continuity of the last JEELS edition that took place in Munster with the German EELS community, this edition will be a join congress between the France and Spain communities. Abstract submission is now open until the 1st of March (https://sfmu.fr/fr/jeels2024/).
Recent substantial advances in electron optics, gun brightness, electron monochromators, new spectroscopic instrumentation and detectors have motivated the development of multiple fast-electron-based spectroscopies capable of atomic-scale spatial resolution and the use of complementary EM-based techniques for material science. JEELS 2024 will be a forum for discussing the current status, new developments and the perspectives for techniques, instrumentation, and data analysis.
The conference scope includes:
- Correlative Spectroscopies for materials science
- Advanced instrumentation, signal and image processing
- Low-energy excitations
- Theory applied to electron spectroscopies
- Operando
- New Spectroscopies
Due to the progress in electron energy resolution and temporal resolution, electron-based spectroscopies are now competing for the study of material science with the X-ray and the optics community, therefore contributions highlighting the complementarity of novel EM-based techniques with non-based electron techniques will be encouraged, as well as contributions in materials chemistry, condensed matter physics soft matter and biomaterials.

Revealing the atomic secrets of energy and quantum materials with cryogenic PFIB
13 June 2024
Online

Cryogenic plasma focused ion beam (P-FIB) preparation allows researchers to probe the frozen liquid solid interfaces of biological and physical materials. In batteries these interfaces are the key location of functionality and often breakdown. To improve battery design it is key to understand the structurally and chemically complex interfaces such as the solid electrolyte interface. In this webinar we will discuss how using cryogenic P-FIB and vacuum/cryogenic sample transfer to correlative analysis tools such as Atom Probe Tomography and Transmission Electron Microscopy to analyse the atomic scale details of such materials and interfaces. We will discuss in detail the unique P-FIB steps required when making samples at cryogenic temperatures vs room temperature. Finally we will discuss the use of P-FIB vacuum transfer for air sensitive samples such as solid magnetic and superconductor samples.

Huygens Virtual Workshop for Imaging Experts
16 and 17 April 2024

As a microscopist and/or facility member, you are aware of imaging pitfalls and the need to fix them with the purpose of staying true to the real object. To reach this goal and teach this to your users, it is crucial to select the right image processing tools, and to use them in the correct order and manner. During this virtual workshop, we will discuss pitfalls in image acquisition and issues that are typically found when using certain imaging modalities. Furthermore, we will show newly acquired data that proves that the "Pyramid of Frustration" can be enlarged - even with noisy data. Deconvolution is explained by our experts, and the brand-new Huygens Image Quality Control tool is demonstrated. Hands-on sessions focus on using imaging pipelines, command line interfaces (Python), and various image restoration and analysis options. Different Huygens solutions tailored to individual users, research groups, and imaging facilities will be presented, and we'll discuss with you how we can share educational material, and contribute to trainings on-site.
NANO IN BIO 2024
14 to 20 April 2024
Guadeloupe – France
NANOinBIO international conferences are organized by an international committee of academics and researchers, and work on a not-for-profit basis. The goal of the meeting is to foster scientific exchanges, but also informal discussion and networking. To achieve this goal, the conference is spread over 5 consecutive days in quiet but beautiful location: “La Creole Beach Hotel & Spa” in the village of Le Gosier, Guadeloupe (French Caribbean). All participants encouraged to stay on-site for the full duration of the meeting, thereby also sharing meals and leisure time. In 2024, a spring school on the topic of Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) in bio-systems will run immediately before the conference at the same location. NANOinBIO is organized in conjunction with the local University (University of French West Indies, Pole Guadeloupe) and French government to encourage and support local research developments and early career scientists.

The research area of nanophotonics, the study of light at the nanoscale, has experienced a dramatic growth in recent years. To further advance this field, it is essential to develop novel characterization techniques that are able to generate, probe and control light at length scales far below the diffraction limit of light, at a broad energy range, and at femtosecond time scales. Recently, electron-beam spectroscopies have emerged as powerful probes in nanophotonics research, fueled by the advent of improved microscopes and the exploration of brand-new techniques.
