On behalf of the Organizing Committee welcome you to the 1st INL Workshop on Combined Microscopies, 8 and 9 November 2018 at INL in Braga, Portugal. Researchers will gather to discuss approaches and benefits of combining different microscopy approaches in the life sciences. In this first workshop, we will focus in particularly on Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) and live cell Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), but we also invite researchers to contribute works experimenting with different multimodal approaches to biomedical imaging.
