May 31-June 4
Workshop on Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM)
Montreal, Canada
Part of the Summer School on Advanced AFM Techniques and International Workshop on Piezoresponse and Conductive AFM. A combination of tutorial lectures by the advanced practitioners of PFM, topical lectures by leading scientists in the field, industrial lectures from PFM manufacturers, and poster sessions for attendees. It also includes extensive lab demos for participants to gain hand-on experience in PFM on various commercial systems, for which the attendees can bring their own samples for testing and examinations.

June 14-18
6th Annual Workshop on Basic Confocal Microscopy

University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Columbia, SC
Instrumentation Resource Facility
The workshop is directed towards beginning and intermediate users of confocal microscopes and involves a series of lectures (specimen preparation, labeling strategies, proper set-up of instrument operating parameters, proper handling of 2D and 3D confocal images in programs such as Adobe Photoshop and AMIRA), hands-on specimen preparation, and time on a number of different point scanning and spinning disk confocal microscopes. Microscope companies will be on-site with instruments and applications experts.
