MST44

The 44th International Conference of the Microscopy Society of Thailand (MST44) will be held on 28–31 March 2027 at Oakwood Hotel & Residence, Sri Racha, Chonburi, Thailand, under the theme “Imaging Science for Global Impact”.

MST44 is hosted by the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, and supported by the Microscopy Society of Thailand (MST) and the Japanese Society of Microscopy (JSM).

Conference Highlights

MST44 is an international conference that brings together researchers, scientists, students, and industry professionals from around the world to share cutting-edge advances in imaging science and microscopy across biological and physical sciences through keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, and global networking opportunities.

Objectives of the Conference

• To provide an international platform for presenting and disseminating current research in imaging science and microscopy.
• To promote the exchange of knowledge, experience, and emerging technologies across biological and physical sciences.
• To foster academic, research, and industrial collaborations at both national and international levels.

Scope of the Conference

MST44 covers a broad spectrum of research and applications in imaging science, microscopy, and microanalysis, encompassing biological and physical sciences. The scope includes advances in light, electron, and scanning probe microscopies; imaging and analytical techniques; sample preparation and instrumentation; correlative and in situ microscopy; and interdisciplinary applications in biological, medical, materials, and physical science research. The conference also emphasises emerging technologies, methodological innovations, and the integration of imaging science with advanced data analysis and digital tools.

Scientific Sessions

The scientific programme is divided into two main sessions — Biological Science and Physical Science — featuring research that employs microscopy-related analytical instruments and techniques, including but not limited to:

• Light Microscopy (LM) — brightfield, fluorescence, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM)
• Electron Microscopy (EM) — scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cryo-EM
• Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) — atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM)
• Super-resolution Microscopy — STORM, PALM, STED
• X-ray & Micro-CT Imaging — X-ray microscopy, micro-computed tomography
• Focused Ion Beam (FIB-SEM) and correlative imaging techniques
• Multiphoton & Two-photon Microscopy
• 4D-STEM — four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy for nanoscale structural and phase mapping
• AI for Image Analysis — machine learning and deep learning approaches for image segmentation, feature detection, and data-driven microscopy analysis
• Associated Microanalysis Techniques — EDS/EDX, EELS, EBSD, and related spectroscopic and imaging tools

Further details regarding keynote speakers and invited speakers will be announced soon.
