'How new science is transforming the optical microscope', London, UK
Historically, lenses for optical microscopes have necessarily been small, but also having to capture light from the object over as wide an angle as possible to record fine detail. In recent times, though, lasers, computers and chemically-specific labels have produced significant developments.
The conference will highlight a new method which shows anatomy at the scale of millimetres and subcellular detail in the same image of a specimen such as a mouse embryo. The event will also bring together experts and researchers that share a common interest in the latest in optical microscope technology.For further information, please visit: http://royalsociety.org/events/2012/optical-microscope/(opens in new window)
