What are the greatest challenges for you as organizer in staging a conference like the FOM in Göttingen? Wouters: Unfortunately, Göttingen doesn’t have a conference center. So the first major challenge was to find a suitable venue for the FOM at all. The experience of past years enabled an accurate estimate of the conditions that …

What does it mean to you that the FOM is being held in Göttingen this year? I’m pleased that Göttingen is the venue for this year’s FOM because Göttingen is a stronghold of microsopy – all the way from basic research to applications in life sciences and commercial manufacture. Göttingen is one of the ‘constant …

The well-known saying of “Seeing is believing” became even more apt in biology when stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy was introduced in 1994 by the Nobel laureate S. Hell and coworkers. We presently stand at a juncture. Nanoscopy represented a revolution in fluorescence microscopy but now is a mature technique applied to many branches of …
As most tissue specimens contain a mixture of different cell types including epithelial cells, stromal cells and immune cells, selection of the cells of interest is of utmost importance for the accurate determination of gene/microRNA expression. Laser capture microdissection enables the researcher to obtain homogeneous ultrapure cell selections from heterogeneous starting material. The following protocol …
Limitations of fluorescence and electron microscopy When studying biological events within a cell or at the level of molecular interactions, scientists are often limited by the spatial resolution of FM. So-called “super-resolution” methods go some way towards overcoming this limitation to allow the localisation of individual fluorescent labels with a resolution reaching tens of nanometres. …
With an inverted microscope, you simply place your sample on the stage, focus onto the surface once and image it. Finished. The sample stays focused for all magnifications and further samples of the same sort are in focus alike. With an upright microscope the workflow spans more tasks operators need to perform: You need …

Optical far-field microscopy such as confocal fluorescence microscopy is a very popular technique for investigating the living cell. Unfortunately, its spatial resolution is limited to around 200 nm, impeding the imaging of small molecular assemblies. Recent decades have seen the development of optical nanoscopy, optical far-field microscopy with a spatial resolution down to molecular scales. STED …
