Focus on Microscopy 2022 - Online
Sunday April 10 to Wednesday April 13, 2022
Unfortunately, due to the continuing Covid-19 Pandemic, the conference can not take place in Porto, Portugal. FOM2022 will be organized online from Sunday, April 10 to Wednesday, April 13, 2022. Please note that this will be in the week before Easter 2022. The online conference will follow the same format as the successful FOM2021 online conference. We hope we can organize an in-person meeting again in 2023.

| FOM2022 Conference | Sunday, April 10 - Wednesday, April 13, 2022 |
| Easter Sunday 2022 | Sunday, April 17, 2022 |
FOM2022 online continues a long-standing (since 1988), yearly conference series on the latest innovations and developments in (optical) microscopy and their application in biology, medicine, and the material sciences.
The conference will start on Sunday, April 10 with tutorials, followed by parallel sessions, Flash poster presentations and a plenary opening session with invited speakers at the end of the afternoon. The tentative program will be available later this year, and can be found under "Program" on this web site. Both lectures and posters will be presented “live” by the presenting author. Whole oral sessions will be recorded and be accessible by participants during and after the conference for approximately two months. Contributions will not be recorded and accessible individually.
