"Het Fotonica Evenement 2008" offered a platform for scientists, R&D engineers, policy officials, PhD students and management to be informed about the latest developments in photonics and to meet each other. An ideal opportunity to intensify knowledge and network in photonics. The programme consisted of oral presentations, the exposition, MatchMaking, a poster session, an education workshop, lunch, photo competition and a network drink.

The importance of photonics was especially elucidated for the following themes: Health care & Biosciences, Information- & Communication Technology, Automotive & Transport, Environment & Safety, Industrial Fabricationge, and Light Sources & Detection Systems.

Lambert Instruments was present at the exhibition giving a presentation of the LIFA system for FLIM – widefield Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy and the HI-CAM CR, Gated Intensified High-Speed Camera. During the poster session, Lambert Instruments presented the poster "Applications of intensified high speed cameras" (6 MB).

This annual microscopy meeting of the 'Nederlandse Vereniging voor Microscopie' (NVvM) will focus on two themes: “Molecular microscopy” and “Atoms at the interface” which cover interesting novel developments in the fields of light- and electron microscopy. Especially for the first theme, molecular microscopy, our products may be of great importance: the fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) equipment offers a good opportunity for FRET detection inside cells, and the intensified high-speed cameras (HI-CAM) offer increased sensitivity for high-speed low light applications such as molecular motors inside cells.
Among the companies, Lambert Instruments is present during this interesting meeting and has a poster presentation on the combination of the LIFA with either a CSU spinning disk or white/ laser-TIRF.
