Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy Conference/Workshop (Bar Harbor ME) June 1-7, 2025
Announcing LSFM 2025! The light-sheet conference/workshop will be held this year June 1st-7th, 2025, at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) in Bar Harbor, Maine.
The Application portal is open now! Application deadline (rolling) May 12th, 2025. Limited financial assistance is available. https://mdibl.org/course/lsfm-2025/
This is the only comprehensive conference/workshop of this length in the US. This year, the conference will be 1.5 days and the workshop will be 4 days (more time on the systems!). Workshop space is limited. First come!
Multi-dimensional live and fixed microscope data can be collected in so many ways, and the various solutions seem to grow almost daily. There are many courses that focus on general optical principals and the use of conventional microscope platforms such as widefield fluorescence, confocal and multiphoton imaging but none that are specifically designed to demystify rapidly evolving and increasingly prescient methods such as light sheet imaging. Ultimately this is the goal of this course: What is light sheet microscopy in all its flavors; what can you do with it; how do you choose between platforms; and once you have a system or are proficient with a device, what do you do with the data?
This week-long conference/workshop brings together experts in conventional optics, all aspects of light sheet microscopy, and image analysis to help you bring your light sheet based cellular, animal, and large sample/cleared sample imaging to the next level.
There will be three general sections within the conference (followed by a workshop):
- Hardware
- Data Analysis
- Biological Application: Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Neuroscience, and others.
