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.

Scientific Poster Session: Undergraduate or graduate students who use microscopy in their research are invited to submit an abstract and present a poster. The abstract submission deadline and additional information will be available soon.

Image Analysis Workshop: On Monday March 31, 2025, there will be an all day Image Analysis Workshop that will include a review about different analysis platforms used in analyzing Cryo, Light and TEM data, as well as information about data management and FAIR principles in microscopy.
