1st Australian Correlative Microscopy Workshop (ACMW)
The program featured keynote seminars, breakout sessions with demonstrations, and discussion periods with talks by Dr Richard Powell from Nanoprobes (New York, USA) and A/Prof. Filip Braet, from the EMU, as well as short research presentations by Dr Debbie Barton, Dr Louise Cole and Ms Kristina Jahn illustrating the power of correlative light and electron microscopy for the molecular analysis of the structure and function of cells and tissues. This was followed by hands-on experience of correlative imaging probes in interactive demonstrations.

02 November 2006
Photoactivatable Fluorescent Proteins in Live Cell Imaging
A workshop supported and funded by Leica Microsystems, Olympus and Fluorescence Applications in Biotechnology and Life Sciences
This one day workshop was introducing the concept of photoactivation in live cell imaging. The invited speakers, Joerg Wiedenmann (University of Ulm) and Mikhail Matz (University of Texas) as well as Anya Salih, Lilian Soon and Guy Cox from the EMU, and Luz Page and Brian Jones from Olympus discussed PAFPs' optical and molecular properties and applications on following the movements of proteins and organelles, in pulse chase experiments and lifetime protein imaging.
