Optical imaging methods play a key role in many fields of science, engineering and in a huge number of everyday applications. FOI 2013 focuses on the most relevant and most challenging of these techniques, with the purpose of advancing the state-of-the-art in domains where the fundamental limits of imaging performance have not yet been achieved.
By combining novel physical detection principles, advanced sensor chip and electronic circuit design, new optical imaging methods, mathematical algorithms for image reconstruction and physical techniques to improve image resolution, the frontiers of optical imaging are further pushed back.

Abstract submission deadline is extended to 23 May 2013.
The final call for papers is now available here.

SMETHODS is a FP7 funded support action which organises trainings in optical design. The participation in the training sessions is free for everybody – although priority is given to employees of small and medium sized European enterprises (SMEs). Four new courses have been scheduled now.
