Mats Gustafsson Memorial Symposium on High Resolution Imaging
Mats G.L. Gustafsson became a group leader at Janelia in 2008. In April 2011, he passed away after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Mats was a leader in the field of high resolution light microscopy and pioneered a set of super-resolution methods including structured illumination light microscopy (SIM) and I5M. These allow visualization of cellular components that typically go undetected by light microscopes. This meeting honored the memory of Mats and his contribution to the field of bioimaging by bringing together people who have worked with him over the years, as well as others who develop and/or apply innovative optical imaging techniques. Through a series of talks, posters and group discussions, we covered various methods, including SIM, STED, PALM, STORM, adaptive optics, multiplane imaging, and others.
