The RMS would like to announce that the upcoming UK Light Microscopy Facility Meeting 2026 will be taking place in Newcastle Upon Tyne, starting at lunch time on Thursday 8th January and finishing at lunch time on Friday 9th January. The event is being hosted by scientific organisers Glyn Nelson & Alex Laude.

The event provides an excellent opportunity to network with fellow facility staff as well as representatives from major commercial suppliers of microscopy hardware, software and reagents. The focus of this year’s meeting will be around quality and data management within imaging facilities. We’ll also hear from newly established facilities as well as those that want to share recent developments and operational best practice. There’ll be a spotlight career pathways for imaging scientists at all stages, including mentoring schemes and opportunities across sectors. As always, expect updates from funders and UKBioimaging on initiatives shaping the future of light microscopy.

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN ON TUESDAY 7th OF OCTOBER!
