Sub-topics
Imaging Techniques, Microscopy

Papers are committed to giving an overview of the state of the art as well as upcoming trends, and to promoting discussion about scientific and technological aspects of Applied Microscopy in both the biological/biomedical and physical/chemical sciences. Priority will be given to those which clearly emphasize the scientific/technological RESULTS, as well as those making comparative discussions of two or more microscopy techniques or showing the complementarity of microscopy techniques with other techniques. As for the rest of the Conference, papers where Microscopy has a central role in a modern and interdisciplinar research, are specially welcomed.
