Poster

　Imaging technology has been widely applied to areas ranging from molecules, cells, tissues all the way up to individual organisms, and has consequently become an essential analytical tool in the field of life science research. The development of new probes, microscopes and quantitative analytical methods, as well as the ability of being able to extract biological information from images, has progressed at a remarkable pace. As a result, we can now observe both multiple objects and the spatial temporal dynamics of the subjects simultaneously at both high speed and resolution.
　NIBB has taken on a major role within the field of bioimaging in Japan as evidenced by its involvement in the advancement of various activities. These roles have involved the development of new observation technology and bioimage analysis methods, these circulation through the bioimaigng training courses, conducting the NIBB collaborative research projects for integrative bioimaging, and taking on the role of core institute in coordinating the Advanced Bioimaging Support (ABiS) activities in conjunction with NIPS. Against this backdrop, the 66th NIBB Conference, entitled "Cutting Edge Techniques of Bioimaging", was held in cooperation with ABIS at the Okazaki Conference Center from February 17th to 18th.
　This conference aimed to deepen discussion concerning cutting edge bioimaging as well as sharing information regarding this area. In particular, there was a focus on super high resolution and live cell imaging. Events included:

　●　Lectures conducted by both domestic and international researchers engaged in cutting edge projects in the above-mentioned fields
　●　Imaging related poster presentations
　●　Short talks about various posters chosen from those on display

　Additionally, much passionate discussion was also exchanged prior to the lecture’s Q and A and poster sessions.
　A total of 102 participants were able to obtain information on results and analytical techniques concerning the use of advanced bioimaging equipment. They were also able to think more deeply about the usage of advanced imaging techniques in their research. Furthermore, it was also a good opportunity to rethink how to cooperate in the field of bioimaging with other institutes and researchers.
　Due to problems such as budgetary constraints, it is becoming progressively more difficult to introduce advanced equipment and operate it under suitable conditions. Network support activities such as the ABiS, which was founded three years ago and have provided advanced bioimaging technologies, are necessary to support bioimaging research in Japan.
In closing, we would like to express our gratitude to the members of NIBB and NIPS for their efforts in hosting this conference.
