The exhibition at emc2012 will be home to 100 companies sharing more than 1500m2
of stand space. Poster presentation
The ‘poster village’ is sponsored by International LabMate, and will occupy a prominent position within the main hall. It is sure to be a busy place, with regular scheduled viewing sessions throughout the five days of the conference.
“Posters are such a sociable way to increase your own knowledge and understanding,” added Dr Stokes. “The material presented within posters ranges from early-career work through to late-breaking cutting-edge research that missed the original deadline for oral presentations. In all cases, they allow relaxed and open discussion with the authors, and many research collaborations and partnerships have arisen from such meetings.”
The involvement of ILM is a continuation of its long-term association with previous MICROSCIENCE events.
“ILM’s sponsorship of the poster sessions is really welcome news,” said Mrs Winton. “It shows great support for those at the beginning of their careers. It also provides a massive bonus for some of the prize-winning posters, as the work will be featured in future issues of the magazine.”
The conference sessions are presented within four symposia: Physical Sciences: Applications
functional materials; thin films, coatings and interfaces; art, heritage and forensics; advanced materials; healthcare; nanomechanics; towards sustainable energy and environmental protection; earth and planetary materials and low dimensional materials.
Physical Sciences: Tools and Techniques advances in scanning probe microscopy: applications at the nanoscale; advances in SEM; In situ and environmental EM; 3D/4D imaging; advances in EM instrumentation and methods (Professor David Cockayne Memorial Symposium); electron diffraction and crystallography; advances in spectroscopy in STEM and CTEM and advances in ion microscopy.
Life Sciences: Applications
organelle dynamics; biology of the cell nucleus; cytoskeleton and signalling; Imaging brain structure and function across different spatial and temporal scales; uninvited guests: visualising host-pathogen interactions; Imaging and flow cytometry in cancer biology and in vivo imaging of multicellular dynamics and complexity (applications).
Life Sciences: Tools and Techniques Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy for life sciences; applications and advances in high content imaging; probes for light and electron microscopy; 3D image processing (3D microscopy, 3D image analysis and developmental imaging); 3D electron microscopy of structure-function studies; techniques for imaging brain structure and function across different spatial and temporal scales and in vivo imaging of multicellular dynamics and complexity (techniques).
“The scientific programme is impressive,” said Dr Stokes. “Anyone who is active in microscopy and related techniques should find sessions of interest, and I would encourage them to study the Call for Papers and to submit an abstract – or abstracts. This event happens only every four years, so take advantage of the opportunity. Bring your work to a wide
The quality of entries to the International Micrograph competition will be as high as ever. An unrivalled exhibition
An exhibition will run alongside the conference and it has already received great support from companies. In early January 80 confirmed bookings had been taken for over 1400m2 of stand- space. By comparison, at MICROSCIENCE 2010 there was 1100m2 of stands.
“We are very pleased with response from companies,” said Mrs Winton. “And, it is very encouraging to see new names mixing with the more established ones. There is still some space available, but I would encourage any potential exhibitors to make contact now, as the hall is filling fast.”
As you would expect, ILM will be there.
The exhibitors will play a huge role in making emc2012 a success, and the effort and logistics of getting high-end, high-value equipment set-up and working should not be under estimated.
“Exhibitions such as emc2012 provide many challenges for companies, but they also provide unmatched opportunities for us to meet with researchers and to discuss their needs with them,” said Rod Shipley, Chair of the RMS Corporate Advisory Board. “Of course, companies are there to promote their equipment, but delegates should not forget that the people that man the stands have a real passion for microscopy. I would encourage all visitors to engage with these people and to provide the feedback that will lead to even better products being available in the future.”
As well as the conference and exhibition, emc2012 includes features such as a fully equipped teaching and learning zone that is freely accessible to all visitors, a social programme of receptions, company parties and a congress dinner, plus an International Micrograph Competition with a range of great prizes. Details of how to submit entries to this, along with details of bursaries for early career researchers will be available on the emc2012 website as they become available.
There will be a range of training and learning opportunities during all five days of the event. Key dates for your diary Posters are sponsored by International Labmate Ltd
