Infrared spectro-microscopy workshop in Basel
On February 1-2, 2011, the teams working on the infrared (IR) beamlines at SLS and SOLEIL synchrotrons co-organizeda workshop dedicated to IR spectro-microscopy and its applications.
More than 40 participants, specialists of this technique but also many new or futur users, gathered in the BioZentrum of Basel University in order to share their experience, talk about their research domains, technical aspects, and the applicability of specific tools to other fields of science. Several speakers gave lectures about medical subjects (alzheimer disease, Huntington disease, stem cells, cancer diagnosis, liver diseases diagnosis, kidney stones), but other scientific areas were also presented, such as astrophysics, geophysics, conservation of the cultural heritage, or chemistry. This first session may be a start for a more regular workshop series.
