Dear colleagues,

we would like to announce the upcoming practical course Super-Resolution in Light Microscopy (SLM 2026), which will take place June 8–10, 2026 at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague.

Some of you may know our EMBO Practical Course on Super-Resolution Microscopy, which we bi-annually organize at IMG. The SLM course is a complementary event focused primarily on extended hands-on training, allowing participants to spend more time working directly with the methods and data processing workflows.

The three-day course combines short theoretical introductions with practical sessions in small groups. Participants will work with several super-resolution approaches including SIM, SMLM, STED and optical reassignment methods – Airyscan and SoRa.

The practical sessions are organized in collaboration with the Microscopy unit at the Institute of Experimental Medicine (IEM CAS).

The course is open to an international audience and the number of participants is limited to 15 to ensure an intensive training format.

More information, programme and registration details are available here:

Registration deadline: May 5, 2026

Please feel free to share this announcement with colleagues who might be interested.

Best regards,

Ivan Novotny & Michaela Blazikova
