MICROSCIENCE 2008

23-26 June London, England

At the international forefront of microscopy for 169 years, in the past two years, the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) has seen membership increase by 7%. The Society is responsible for the Microscience exhibition and conference; with a 10% increase in exhibition space from 2006, and 110% since 2002, this year will make this the biggest show in Europe that focuses on microscopy, imaging and analysis.

‘The drive towards greater sophistication and miniaturisation of products that we use every day in society, from mobile phones to pharmaceuticals, inevitably means that we need to improve our scientific understanding at a finer scale,’ said RMS President Professor Mark Rainforth. ‘Consequently, greater emphasis is now placed on microscopy as the basic tool for providing that understanding. Microscopy and imaging are experiencing a renaissance with the advent of numerous new exciting techniques, many of which will be showcased at Microscience 2008.’
With key international companies such as: Bruker, FEI, Hitachi, Jeol, Leica, Olympus, Oxford Instruments, Veeco, Carl Zeiss UK and Carl Zeiss SMT exhibiting alongside nearly 100 others, the exhibition will provide an eclectic selection of the very latest microscopy related scientific equipment under one roof. There will also be a number of companies new to the event, including Agilent Technologies, GE Healthcare, Smiths Detection, Thermo Scientific, Asylum Research, Cambridge Analytical Instruments, CEMMNT, Close-Ups, Edinburgh Instruments, EMS, Essen Instruments, HWL Scientific Instruments, Laser 2000, Nanofactory, Nanonis, Attocube, Michelson Diagnostics, Mad City Labs, Millbrook Instruments, Qioptiq Imaging Solutions, Tescan and Sympatec.
‘We see Microscience as the Motor Show of Microscopy!’ said Rob Flavin, RMS Executive Director. ‘In addition to the exhibition, there will be specialist workshops demonstrating many of the new microscopy techniques and a chance to pick up basic information on different fundamental techniques in our RMS Learning Zone. These features are free to all visitors.’
