Complemented by meet-the-expert sessions, the symposium fostered intensive exchange on the application of emerging microscopy techniques, which are still in the development or just hit the market.
Starting in 2018, the initiative funded microscope installations at 13 universities in Germany. At CellNanOs, upgrading of a custom-built lattice light-sheet microscope with adaptive optics and high-power laser was granted, enabling applications such as robust volumetric single-molecule imaging.
