Summary

The sixth US-workshop, held for the first time in Los Angeles was an inspiring event. Finally, nearly 80 researches participated in this event and enjoyed 13 lectures that covered a broad range of current research topics and techniques ranging from the usage of FLIM for the study of ion channel interactions or the benefits of advanced FCS methods in biology towards superresolution microscopy and live-cell STED.
