Events
The Arizona Imaging and Microanalysis Society hosts an annual conference every spring. This annual meeting provides a forum for members to discuss research and exchange ideas, as well as an opportunity for learning about new techniques and concepts. We encourage anyone who works with microscopy to sign up as an AIMS member. Registration for the conference is separate and you can register through this link.
Additional Events:
ImageJ/FIJI Image Analysis Workshop: This workshop will focus on analyzing microscope image data using ImageJ/FIJI as well as reviewing ethical limitations to image manipulation. This will be held on Thursday March 18, 2021 during a morning (beginner, novice) and afternoon (advanced) session. Registration is required. Confirmation and the workshop link will be sent shortly after registration. [ImageJ/FIJI Workshop Flyer]
Scientific Poster Session: Undergraduate or graduate students who use microscopy in their research are invited to submit an abstract, poster and pre-recorded poster ‘flash talk’ that will be made available during the conference. Posters will be judged and eligible for prizes.
Art in Microscopy Exhibit Session: Artists are invited to submit an art summary describing their microscopy inspired artwork, a poster and prepare a pre-recorded ‘flash talk’ that will be made available during the conference. The presentation will be judged and eligible for prizes.
