He decided to call the little building blocks he was seeing “cells”, and chronicled them along with sketches of many other natural objects in his now classic treatise on the subject – Micrographia. This was over 350 years ago, and optical microscopy techniques for studying plants have grown and flourished in many diverse directions since. Driven by our insatiable desire for understanding the inner molecular and structural workings of plants, aided by some “clever” tricks that allow us to squeeze out hidden information, and supported by the latest technological advances, optical microscopy is almost an eternity from where it was during Hooke’s fateful first experiments. The “Modern Plant Microscopy” meeting gives center stage to a hand full of leading European researchers in the field of optical microscopy and spectroscopy, to present their latest findings and how they have helped us gain a deeper insight into the complex processes underlying the biology of plants using different cutting edge techniques. Speakers include...
