BACKGROUND

Microscopy Forum 2006 was conceived to bring together members of the NIH microscopy community, and to facilitate discussion and the exchange of ideas. The session topics reflect what are now areas of great interest in microscopy, namely live cell and high speed imaging, TIRF*, FLIM* and FRET*. The keynote speakers will cover both historical perspectives and the future of microscopy at the limits of resolution.

Concurrent with the sessions, three major microscope vendors will be present to demonstrate their latest instruments, provide applications support, and image your samples. The vendors will also be giving talks describing their newest systems as well as future developments. Additional microscopy related vendors will also be attending, and giving talks as well.
