Reproducible experiments in microscopy require well-understood instruments that can be replicated independently. Open Source Hardware, the practice of sharing complete designs under an open license can make instrument development more reproducible, more accessible, and reduce duplicated effort. This meeting will bring together researchers, manufacturers, and others involved in open microscopy to discuss recent developments, best practice, and goals for the future.
The schedule of talks and speaker biographies will be available soon. Meeting papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.
Poster/demonstration session
- There will be a poster session on Monday 22 May 2023. If you would like to apply to present a poster please submit your proposed title, abstract (not more than 200 words and in third person), author list, name of the proposed presenter and institution to the Scientific Programmes team no later than Monday 17 April 2023.
- If you would like to bring a hardware demonstration, please mention if it would require power and/or table space.
- The organisers may invite a small number of attendees who submit abstracts to join panel discussions, on the basis of those abstracts.
- Please include the text 'Poster abstract submission - Open, reproducible hardware for microscopy' in the email subject line. Please note that places are limited, and posters are selected at the scientific organisers' discretion.
