We hope you can join us for AIM 2023! The list of speakers is growing and I think you will find it to be a very attractive conference.
The RII Core Facilities Pilot Program is designed to support three key types of activity within the RII-managed core facilities. Each CFPP proposal will be evaluated on scientific merit and feasibility, and should focus on one or more of the following activity types:
The W.M.
Multi-dimensional live and fixed microscope data can be collected in many ways and with a wide range of imaging modalities to help advance cellular, animal and large sample/cleared sample imaging to the next level.
The 8th Charleston Workshop on LIGHT MICROSCOPY FOR THE BIOSCIENCES (LMB) will provide a solid introduction to the concepts and practical applications of light microscopy relevant to modern cell and molecular biology under the direction of Dr. John J. Lemasters.
QFM 2023 is an international course in fluorescence microscopy and imaging for advanced graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, imaging core managers and researchers at all levels who are incorporating the technology into their laboratories.
The expansion microscopy user group brings together researchers to share experiences to enable rapid uptake of the technology. The group is open to anyone interested including all career stages and levels of experience with expansion microscopy.

These US or North American professional societies are either about microscopy or have a strong microscopy component. There are many more societies if you look outside the North American region of
Over the last several years (2010-present) Nature Methods has run a series of short (usually 1-2 page) articles called "Points of View" that discussed topics including:
The UA does not currently have a lightsheet microscope in any of the core facilities. Lightsheet microscopy has a number of advantages over confocal microscopy for certain types of samples, but
There are a number of interesting and (perhaps) unexpected core facilities on campus. If you need to repair a piece of equipment or perhaps build something very specific, check out:
