The National Conference of EMSI – North Zone on “Electron Microscopy in Biological and Material Sciences” will provide a vibrant platform for interdisciplinary exchange among biological , medical and material science communities. The conference will be held at AIIMS, New Delhi, on 08–09 May 2026, preceded by many pre conference workshops (06–07 May 2026).
The conference will feature covering recent advances and emerging trends in electron microscopy on biological and material Science.
AIIMS, New Delhi, India
08-09 May 2026
This hands-on session will introduce participants to environmental and cryogenic SEM techniques for imaging hydrated, soft, and beam-sensitive samples. Participants will gain practical experience in sample preparation, cryo-fixation, low-vacuum imaging, charge mitigation, and contrast optimization, enabling high-resolution surface and morphological analysis under near-native conditions.
This module will provide hands-on training in confocal laser scanning microscopy and advanced super-resolution techniques. Participants will learn optical sectioning, fluorophore selection, image acquisition strategies, resolution enhancement, and quantitative image analysis, with applications in biological and biomedical research.
The AFM session will offer practical exposure to topographical, mechanical, and functional imaging at the nanoscale. Participants will be trained in probe selection, scanning modes, force spectroscopy, surface characterization, and data interpretation, with examples from both biological and material systems.
The two-day TEM session focuses on advanced imaging and analytical techniques including EDS and STEM-HAADF. Participants will learn TEM fundamentals, sample–electron interactions, contrast mechanisms, and practical training in elemental analysis and Z-contrast imaging. The session emphasizes data acquisition, interpretation, and best practices for high-quality nanoscale analysis.
