BioImaging Workshop, 13 - 15 July 2010

Introduction

Carl Zeiss MicroImaging and Instituto de Medicina Molecular are happy to invite you to the Zeiss On Your Campus - 2010 this year focused on live cell imaging and featuring the latest ZEISS microscopes and application solutions. As a microscopy user, you will have an excellent oportunity to learn about advanced techniques as well as use high-end systems. Get three days of inspiration from top imaging experts and colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere, we are looking forward to show you the newest developments on live cell imaging. This meeting gives you a unique opportunity to participate in short seminars and hands-on sessions about optimizing the handling and use of new systems, know their comparative strengths and try them with your own samples. The course will take place in IMM Lisbon, from 13 - 15th July 2010.
