P2N Symposium 2017

 

A symposium on high-dimensional fluorescence microscopy, organised by the Royal Belgian Society for Microscopy (RBSM). On this occasion, international experts will shed light on their developments in fluorescence microscopy-based methods for extracting quantitative biological information.Following the tradition, this annual meeting will be accompanied by RBSM Outstanding PhD awards as well as RBSM best picture awards. Download the flyer here.
