We are inviting you to learn about the latest in optical microscopy during three days of Autumn School on Optical Microscopy organised at the University of Trieste (UniTs), on October 15-17, 2025.
You will have the chance to learn usage of advanced microscopes such as SIM superresolution and Multiphoton microscopes in the laboratories of CIMA (Centro Interdipartmentale di Microscopia Avanzata) at UniTs (University of Trieste) and CNR-IOM.
You will be able to share your reseach in a 5 min snap talk and on a poster displayed throughout the full time of the school. Forge new connections with fellow PhD students and young Postdocs during the networking opportunities during daily coffee breaks and lunches and the special networking dinner on Thurday evening.
