Focus on Microscopy (FOM2024) is back this year! Taking place 24th-27th March in Genoa, Italy
FOM2024 continues a long-standing (since 1988), yearly conference series on the latest innovations and developments in (optical) microscopy and their application in biology, medicine, and the material sciences.
The conference will start on Sunday, March 24 with tutorials, followed by parallel sessions, Flash poster presentations and a plenary opening session with invited speakers at the end of the afternoon.
Come and join our fantastic team to learn how our LED Illumination Systems for fluorescence microscopy can take your research to the next level!
We’ll be bringing a range of our LED Illumination Systems with us, from the pE-300ultra and pE-400max (perfect for routine to advanced fluorescence) to the 8-channel pE-800.
Whatever your fluorescence needs, we’ve got you covered.
With a range of TTL connections for lightning fast high speed imaging, broad spectral coverage including DAPI and YFP through to Cy5 and a range of applications thanks to their immense versatility – come and visit our booth at Focus on Microscopy (FOM2024) to find out more!
pE-300 Series
The pE-300 Series is a range of LED Illumination Systems for fluorescence, optogenetics, electrophysiology and high-speed microscopy applications.
It comprises three individual systems, providing a solution that covers a wide range of everyday fluorescence microscopy.
pE-400 Series
The pE-400 Series delivers the most advanced yet cost-effective illumination for routine to advanced fluorescence microscopy applications. Four powerful LEDs offer broad spectral coverage from 365-635 nm for use with fluorophores ranging from DAPI through YFP to Cy5.
pE-800
The arrival of the pE-800 sees LEDs take centre stage as the widefield illumination method of choice. Featuring eight individually controllable LEDs and lightning fast TTL switching; the pE-800 delivers the highest quality data with minimum total cost of ownership.
Things To Do in Genoa, Italy
Known for its central role in maritime trade over many centuries; in the old town stands the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with its black-and-white-striped facade and frescoed interior. Narrow lanes open onto monumental squares like Piazza de Ferrari, site of an iconic bronze fountain and Teatro Carlo Felice opera house.
Here’s just a few of CoolLED’s top picks for things to do in Genoa!
Musei di Strada Nuova
The Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Tursi – the three historical, municipally-owned stately homes in the 16th-century Strada Nuova – constitute a continuous exhibition devoted to ancient art: the Museums of Strada Nuova.
Basilica di Santa Maria di Castello
Santa Maria di Castello, located in the oldest heart of the city, is a Romanesque Basilica, with the adjoining convent and museum: together, they constitute a monumental complex of extraordinary importance.
Aquarium of Genoa
The Acquario di Genova was built on the occasion of the Expo ’92, a celebration of the fifth centenary of the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus; it’s the biggest aquarium in Europe!
Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari
Piazza De Ferrari is the main square of Genoa. Situated in the heart of the city between the historical and the modern center, it’s renowned for its fountain, which was restored in recent years along with a major restyling of the square.
Genoese cooking lesson in the garden with lunch
Learn the ingredients and the authentic culinary traditions of Genoa, experiencing firsthand the preparation of fresh pasta and pesto – followed by lunch in a wonderful location surrounded by trees and flowers and (hopefully) sunshine!
Explore medieval Genoa on a self-guided audio tour
The port city of Genoa is rife with a history stretching back to medieval times. Follow this audio tour through the cobblestone streets and learn about the city’s history, from rich medieval nobility to the maritime trade that made the city so wealthy and everything in between.
