Topic
Imaging using a variety of modalities, including electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, optical microscopy, X-ray and neutron imaging, ultrasonic techniques, focused ion beam techniques, and more, as well as diverse methods for performing image analysis.
Target audience
Scientists, Ph.D.’s and post-docs working with different imaging techniques and image analysis methods. Anyone who is interested in learning about the latest developments in imaging and image analyses.
Objectives
The series of Empa Topical Days on Imaging and Image Analysis, an event of the Research Focus Area ‘Health and Performance’, offers scientists, both from the ETH domain and from other public/private institutions, a comprehensive platform to stay updated on the latest developments and share experiences in the fields of imaging and image analysis.
