Upcoming Events

Annual Meeting of the Arizona Imaging and Microanalysis Society (AIMS)

March 31, 2025| University of Arizona / Tucson, AZ

Arizona Imaging and Microanalysis Society (AIMS) will be hosting its annual meeting at Arizona State University (Tuscon, AZ) on March 31st and April 1st, 2025. For further information visit https://azmicroscopy.org/events/

Electron Microscopy Spring School 2025

March 31, 2025| University of Leeds, Leeds, UK

The Electron Microscopy Spring School aims to provide a basic training in both the theory and practice of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The course covers imaging, diffraction and chemical microanalysis as well as the highly important area of sample preparation.

Microscopy Data Analysis - Machine Learning and the BioImage Archive

March 31, 2025| Virtual (run by EMBL-EBI, based at Hinxton, United Kingdom)

This virtual course will show how public bioimaging data resources, centred around the BioImage Archive, enable and enhance machine learning based image analysis. The content will explore a variety of data types including electron and light microscopy and miscellaneous or multi-modal imaging data at the cell and tissue scale. Participants will cover contemporary biological image analysis with an emphasis on machine learning methods, as well as how to access and use images from databases
