P2N Symposium 2017
A symposium on high-dimensional fluorescence microscopy, organised by the Royal Belgian Society for Microscopy (RBSM). On this occasion, international experts will shed light on their developments in fluorescence microscopy-based methods for extracting quantitative biological information.Following the tradition, this annual meeting will be accompanied by RBSM Outstanding PhD awards as well as RBSM best picture awards.
