16.15-16.30 Short talk from submitted abstracts, tba
16.30 Prize giving, close of meeting
16.40 Drinks in Atrium
A substantial trade show will be held in the Atrium during the day. Most of the
leading microscopy companies will exhibit (15 stands confirmed).
This is a fantastic opportunity to hear leaders in the field of neuroscience,
TEM tomography, SEM imaging and live cell cancer imaging present their work on
your doorstep. It is also an opportunity to showcase you work to them: consider
submitting an abstract.
Registration costs are low (£30), including lunch and all refreshments, and are
further discounted for students (£15)

Axicon Lens
Axicon lens also known as conical lens or rotationally symmetric prism is
widely used in different scientific research and application. Axicon can be
used to convert a parallel laser beam into a ring, to create a non
diffractive Bessel beam or to focus a parallel beam into long focus depth.
Del Mar Photonics supplies axicons with cone angles range from 130° to
179.5° for use with virtually any laser radiation. We manufacture and supply
axicons made from BK7 glass, fused silica and other materials.

Rutile (TiO2) coupling
prisms
Del Mar Photonics offers optical elements made of high quality synthetically
grown Rutile Titanium Dioxide crystals. Rutile’s strong birefringency, wide
transmission range and good mechanical properties make it suitable for
fabrication of polarizing cubes, prisms and optical isolators. Boules having
high optical transmission and homogeneity are grown by proprietary method.
Typical boules have 10 - 15 mm in dia. and up to 25 mm length. Optical
elements sizes - from 2 x 2 x 1 mm to 12.7 x 12.7 x 12.7 mm. Laser grade
polish quality is available for finished elements. So far we the largest
elements that we manufactured are 12 x15 x 5 mm, in which optical axis is
parallel to 15 mm edge, 5 mm is along beam path, 12 x 15 mm faces polished
20/10 S/D, one wave flatness, parallelism < 3 arc.min. (better specs.
available on request).

Manufacturing challenging optical components
Our group works to characterize the interaction of biomolecules with solid
surfaces, writes Dennis Hore of
University of Victoria, Canada. Nature designs proteins with well-defined
structures in solution. The conformation of these molecules may serve a
structural purpose, or a chemical one in the case of enzymes. In order to
further the progress of technologies that immobilize such molecules on
synthetic surfaces (like biosensors employing enzymes), it is important to
have a detailed understanding and control of the interactions of these
molecules with the surface more
For that project Del Mar has been able to manufacture all shapes of prisms
from CaF2, fused silica, and ZnSe according to our custom specifications.
