2026 International symposium for young scientist in state-of-the-art microscopy

Microscopy is an essential technology for nanoscale observation and measurement. Advances in this field are expected to lead to breakthroughs in various scientific fields. Sharing information and discussing new microscopy techniques in different fields are important for advancing science and technology.

This international symposium for young scientists will feature lectures by world-class researchers who make full use of cutting-edge microscopy techniques and educational lectures for young researchers. The symposium also promotes the development of the next generation of researchers, including graduate and undergraduate students. It is held in a free and hybrid format before the 80th annual microscopy meeting of the Japanese Society of Microscopy to provide an opportunity to learn about the state-of-the-art microscopy techniques being advanced worldwide. The symposium aims to provide an opportunity to learn about the principles and development of various microscopy techniques and promote interdisciplinary exchange on microscopy techniques utilized in materials and biological systems.
