After the successful FOM2011 conference held in Konstanz this year, Focus on Microscopy 2012 (FOM2012) will be held in Singapore. It will take place in the week before Easter from Sunday April 1 to Wednesday April 4, 2012 at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre in the heart of the city. It is sponsored by the National University of Singapore (NUS), the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the Centre of Bioimaging Sciences (CBIS), and the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI).

With the aim of further strengthening the development of Correlative Microscopy in the life sciences, Carl Zeiss has invited selected guests to an international workshop in the newly opened Zeiss Microscopy Labs in Munich, Germany in early October 2011. More than 40 leading scientists from all over the world took this opportunity to discuss the current state of the art and have encouraged Carl Zeiss to further develop this crucial technology.

Diplozoid monogenean Eudiplozoon nipponicum, with complex life cycle comprising oncomiracidium, diporpa, juvenile and adult stage, represents an ideal model for studies on morphological adaptations of metazoan parasites to the ectoparasitic life style. Combined morphological approach offers the advantage of more complex characterization and visualization of structures noticeable only when using specific microscopic method.

A comprehensive understanding of cellular function on the microscopic level in a whole cell or organism is the ultimate goal in system biology. Where system biology methods isolate individual molecular clusters for further investigations [1], microscopy offers the potential to directly "see" the complexes [2] ideally in their natural environment [3].

Bridging the Micro and Nano World: One specimen, two microscope technologies, a new depth of information - this simple formula impressively summarizes the idea behind correlative light and electron microscopy. Particularly in the life sciences, the relationship between structure and function is increasingly becoming a focal point of interest.

Carl Zeiss introduced a unique hardware/ software interface to connect light and scanning electron microscopes for correlative microscopy in the life sciences. The "Shuttle & Find" interface enables users to recall regions of interest in fixed specimens in an electron microscope, which were previously identified in a light microscope and vice versa. The entire process takes only a few seconds.

Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) excels through strength, wear resistance and toughness - characteristics that make ADI the material of choice for use in combustion engines and gear box components. This means that safety aspects are also involved in addition to purely functional aspects. For this reason, changes in the ADI production process need to be monitored with respect to the material´s characteristics and must be optimized systematically. For the micro- and nanoscopic analysis of the structure and precipitations, scientists typically use both light and electron microscopes.
