9th Electron Tomography Congress

The 9^th electron tomography congress will bring together the leading experts in hardware development, software development, and the diverse set of applications of electron tomography, particularly in biology. Topics covered will include:

• Recent developments in tomography of large volume samples via FIB milling
• Correlative light and electron microscopy
• Automatic tilt-series acquisition and reconstruction software
• High-throughput, large-scale reconstructions of plastic embedded samples
• Latest developments in sub-tomogram classification and averaging
• Map interpretation, model fitting and animation
• Example of recent high impact biological results through tomography

The event will be hosted a The Hotel Zuiderduin in Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands.
