EOS Topical Meeting on Advanced Imaging Techniques 2010

The complexity and sophistication of imaging techniques are constantly increasing, in particular in terms of information content, resolution and sensitivity. In particular, the use of polarisation information, combination of imaging modalities and more sophisticated mathematical algorithms are becoming more prominent.

Recent tremendous advances have helped the field of fluorescent microscopy to resolve single molecules. New techniques such as for example imaging in the THz region, quantum imaging, imaging of nanostructures have appeared in the last few years, enabling new applications in technology and biology. The whole area of optical imaging, in spite of its very long history, is currently flourishing both as an independent discipline and also as an underpinning and enabling technology for a large number of applications.

The focus of the Topical Meeting is on those novel techniques that are being developed in order to meet the extensive demands on optical imaging. The meeting will be organised so as to allow intensive discussions and a fruitful exchange of ideas with a single session of presentations and a poster session. Specialised in scope and restricted in number of participants, the Topical Meeting - organised at the rooftop of Europe - will give you the opportunity to easily establish contacts and to initiate new business relations and research collaborations.
