Novel Techniques in Microscopy (NTM)

14 - 18 April 2013
Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa, Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii, USA
Novel Techniques in Microscopy (NTM)


Novel Techniques in Microscopy is focused on the development of new and creative techniques in optical microscopy for biological or biomedical applications.

Advances in optical microscopy are continually enhancing imaging performance and versatility. Examples include increasing depth penetration in scattering media, improving resolution beyond the diffraction limit, increasing speed, enhancing sensitivity and/or specificity, developing novel contrast mechanisms, addressing challenges related to intravital imaging, and more. This meeting will provide a rich collection of fresh and creative technical developments in optical microscopy for biological or biomedical applications.

Topic Categories

  • Imaging in scattering tissue
  • Super-resolution
  • Nonlinear microscopy and coherent techniques
  • OCT, holographic and quantitative phase microscopy
  • Fiberscopes and Endoscopy techniques
  • New techniques

Hawaiian Luau
Monday, 15 April, 19:00 – 20:30
Join your fellow attendees and kick off the Congress with a Hawaiian Luau! Enjoy delectable contemporary and traditional Polynesian fare as well as some familiar favorite dishes.  This is a great opportunity to network and enjoy a drink with colleagues in a beautiful Hawaiian setting. The reception is open to all full technical attendees. Conference attendees may purchase extra tickets for their guest.


Poster Sessions
Tuesday, 16 April and Wednesday, 17 April, 10.00 -11.00
The Congress will feature one set of posters that will be available during two sessions for attendees to view.  The sessions will take place in the exhibit hall. Posters are an integral part of the technical program and offer a unique networking opportunity, where presenters can discuss their results one-to-one with interested parties.
