Optical Microscopy provides high relevant spatial and temporal data, being capable of boosting the knowledge in different scientific areas. It is indeed one of the most utilised technological resources in the research field and, particularly in biomedicine. As a very dynamic technology is continuously evolving and generating new developments and applications that are swiftly incorporated into research and the market every year.

The Iberian Peninsula has a vibrant community of microscopy experts, including technology developers, and world-leading scientists for whom microscopy is an empowering tool in their research, as well as large microscopy facilities with high-end equipment which are continuously updating their resources.
