Explore Next-Gen 3D X-ray Microscopy, AI Imaging & Connect with the XRM Community

 

Join researchers, imaging experts, and industry professionals at the ZEISS X-ray Tomography Insight Symposium to discover the latest developments in 3D X-ray microscopy, AI-powered image analysis, and correlative workflows.

In collaboration with CARL at RWTH Aachen, the event brings together scientific presentations, user talks, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities—providing practical insights into cutting-edge applications in Life Sciences and Materials Research.

Present your scientific work and exchange ideas with the XRM community in our Poster Slam. In a short two-minute pitch, showcase your key findings, gain valuable feedback, and expand your professional network. Simply bring your printed poster—no specific format requirements apply.

Participation in the symposium and evening networking event is free of charge. Accommodation and travel arrangements are the responsibility of each participant.
