Intravital microscopy (IVM) enables the observation and precise quantification of cellular processes within native tissue microenvironments, with resolutions unmatched by other techniques. This powerful approach has become indispensable for studying cell dynamics in tissue contexts, including cancer, metabolic disorders, neurological and immunological interactions, infectious diseases or developmental processes.
The Day of Intravital Microscopy is an annual meeting organized by the workgroup “Intravital Microscopy” of the German Bioimaging Society (GerBI e.V.). The group promotes professional exchange and interaction between scientists and facility staff working in intravital microscopy (IVM). The 6th Day of Intravital Microscopy will be organized in collaboration with the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and will take place on November 23. – 24., 2026 in Bonn, Germany.
Following the success of previous events, the 6th edition aims once again to bring together scientists at all career levels, facility staff, companies and software developers. The program includes lectures, interactive discussions, and workshops, providing a flexible forum to discuss new technical developments, practical aspects, and challenges in the field of IVM. A key feature of the meeting is a “poster and beer” evening session, combining social interaction, scientific exchange and networking in an informal setting.
The value of this meeting is reflected in the high level of engagement of the community. Past events have attracted 70 to 90 participants, representing a significant portion of the intravital microscopy experts across Germany.

We will update this event-page as soon as further information is available.
