Events in 2024

The Conference is a two-day event with a dinner in the evening of day one. Each day comprises presentations from well-known speakers, members papers and posters

This webinar discusses the importance of using control material in the laboratory and how to verify control material.

Discussion of preparation techniques for the most commonly encountered cytology specimens. Benign cell found in these samples and the most commonly encountered malignancies.

The Light Microscopy summer school is an annual, residential two day course held at the University of York covering the principles of light microscopy. Participants are also trained in practical issues surrounding light microscopy. After introductory presentations, the course is taught predominantly through hands-on practical sessions.

This practical workshop will include specimens obtained using radiological guidance as part of ROSE (rapid on-site evaluation) service, and will look at preparation methods, cell morphology and quality issues. Utilises presentations, hands on and discussion-based sessions.

This webinar provides an in depth knowledge of the staining applications and principles employed to classify and demonstrate lipids, common infective agents, pigments, and minerals. Utilises presentations, hands on and discussion-based sessions.

This Course utilises many different sample types and fluorescent probes (DNA stains, classic antibody labels and fluorescent proteins) and these are chosen to best demonstrate particular problems and techniques. Focus is on the techniques they enable and the problems they generate, which will be applicable to any sample types

The course will provide an in depth knowledge of the more advanced uses of IHC and participants will leave having gained the skills to perform and manipulate IHC on tissue to identify complex/three different antigens/cellular components in a single tissue section.

The EM Summer School aims to provide a basic training in both the theory and practice of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The course covers imaging, diffraction and chemical microanalysis as well as the highly important area of sample preparation.

The course will provide a sound knowledge of the basics behind IHC and participants will leave having gained the skills to perform and manipulate IHC on tissue to identify one antigen/cellular component in a single tissue section.
