Cross Disciplinary EM and LM Meeting

Following on from the highly successful Cross-disciplinary microscopy meeting at mmc2014 in Manchester,we wish to repeat this event on Monday 29th June at mmc2015 in Manchester. The purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum for microscopy researchers in both the Physical and Life Sciences to discuss developments in their fields including progress with Microscopy networks, issues associated with cross-disciplinary research funding and capital equipment renewal. We encourage all those with an interest in funding, from both academic and industrial view points as well as members of the microscopy trade from across the Physical and Life Science disciplines to attend and contribute.
