Join us at the 13th Annual FLIM Workshop in the Biomedical Sciences on Thursday + Friday, October 31 - November 1, 2019 in Bethesda, MD. The event is organized by Boston Electronics Corporation in Brookline, MA and Becker & Hickl GmbH in Berlin, Germany. This free 2-day workshop covers many facets of Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging applications in the biomedical sciences on the following topics:

• FRET-FLIM

• Metabolic Imaging (NADH Imaging)

• Clinical FLIM Applications

• Fast FLIM

• Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)

• Fluorescence Anisotropy

• Transient Fluorescence Lifetime Effects

• Measurement of Molecular-Environment Parameters

• Oxygen Concentration in Cells and Tissue

• PLIM (Phosphorescence Lifetime Imaging)
