Single Molecule Workshop

30th International Workshop on “Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Super-resolution Microscopy”

September 23 - 26, 2025, Berlin, Germany

 

Celebrate 30 years of single molecule research with us!
Registration opens in November 2024

Image Single Molecule Workshop

For the 30th year, the world's foremost experts in single molecule research convene in the vibrant city of Berlin. This year's gathering is nothing short of extraordinary. We are honored to host two Nobel laureates, along with the pioneers who paved the way and the rising stars shaping the future.

Audience during an oral presentation

Be part of an exciting and stimulating conference where you can give a talk, present a poster, or attend without presenting. As always, we will award a “Best Student Talk” prize worth 750 Euro.

Immerse yourself in a groundbreaking exploration of ultra-sensitive optical detection down to the single molecule level as well as beyond the classical diffraction limit. PicoQuant's renowned workshop provides an unparalleled platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and the exchange of cutting-edge research.

Discover a vast array of applications and methods in Single Molecule Spectroscopy & Advanced Microscopy, presented through captivating talks and posters. Network with leading experts and like-minded researchers at our welcoming reception and workshop dinner.

Don't miss this opportunity to be at the forefront of scientific innovation!

Covered topics include:

  • Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM)
  • Single molecule Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (smFRET)
  • Polarization and Anisotropy based techniques
  • Quantitative imaging methods
  • New fluorescence sensors and labeling schemes
  • Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) and Fluorescence Lifetime Correlation Spectroscopy (FLCS)
  • Image Scanning Microscopy (ISM)
  • Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (e.g., PALM, STORM, dSTORM, GSDIM, PAINT)
  • Open source data analysis solutions
  • Big Data and Machine Learning approaches to superresolution and single molecule techniques

Both widefield and confocal fluorescence microscopy techniques are covered as well as in vivo and in vitro measurements with single molecule sensitivity.
