We are pleased to host the meeting in Graz hoping it will be a landmark. Graz is a city in the centre of Europe that has a long history in science, engineering and culture. The venue of the conference is a historical building located right in the centre of the city, equipped with modern conference facilities.
Again, we would like to invite you to participate and make this conference by your contributions a scientifically stimulating and fruitful meeting of people developing and fusing modern microscopical methods. We are looking forward to seeing you all at MC 2009 in Graz.
Yours sincerely,
H. Peter Karnthaler
President of the MC 2009 Graz

With great pleasure we like to announce the Microscopy Conference 2009 in Graz (30 Aug – 4 Sept 2009). MC 2009 is joining up the «Multinational Conference on Microscopy» and the «Dreiländertagung» both having established a strong reputation as key events of the European and international microscopy communities.
The program committee is setting up a scientifically stimulating, future oriented program in the three main areas of instrumentation and methodology, materials science and life sciences. The program comprises plenary lectures, keynote lectures, poster sessions, symposia and workshops. Special emphasis is given on the importance of the poster sessions, which means, considerable time will be allocated to the presentations and discussions of the posters. During the whole conference there will be a high quality Trade Exhibition in the same building adjacent to the lecture halls displaying modern instruments and state-of-the-art developments in microscopy of the physical and life sciences and nanotechnology. Together with the exhibitors’ presentations this will be another highlight of the conference.
We have been trying to keep the conference fee low; especially for students the reduced conference fee will be € 80 only. Therefore we kindly ask you to encourage young scientists to present their contributions to make this meeting an even more lively event. As a special offer to our international colleagues being members of other microscopical societies we would like to invite you to register at the reduced rates as they are valid for the members of the organizing societies. We really want you all to feel at home at MC 2009 in Graz.
