29^th International Workshop on
“Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Super-resolution Microscopy”

From October 8–10, 2024, researchers and professionals from around the globe came to the 29th Single Molecule Workshop in Berlin, hosted by PicoQuant, to present and discuss recent results. The program included talks and posters, covering various life science applications and new fluorescence methods. Two poster sessions provided opportunities for in-depth scientific discussions, fostering collaboration and idea exchange. Attendees also enjoyed networking at the conference dinner, enhancing the vibrant and collaborative atmosphere of the workshop.
