Hi-Tech Instruments proudly served as a Platinum Sponsor for the inaugural 1st ACSEAM Conference, organized by the Association of China South East Asia Microscopy (ACSEAM). The event was held on October 21st and 22nd, 2024, at the Gaia Hotel in Bandung, Indonesia. The conference was a resounding success, bringing together leading experts and professionals in the field of microscopy.
A collaborative Effort for Microscopy Advancement
The conference was expertly organized by Indonesian Society of Microscopy (InaSM) under the leadership of Dr. -Ing. Fadli Rohman, the Organizing Chairman. The event was guided by an esteemed advisory board chaired by Prof. Dr. -Ing. Arbi Dimyati (President of the Indonesian Society of Microscopy (InaSM)) and Prof. Dr. -Ing. Pudji Untoro, former President of InaSM. Their collaborative efforts ensured a seamless and impactful event that fostered collaboration and innovation in microscopy.
The formation of ACSEAM was first proposed by Academician Prof. Dr. Zhang Ze, Director of the Centre of Electron Microscopy at Zhejiang University, China. Officially established on 4th July 2023 during a launch event hosted by Hi-Tech Instruments, the association was inaugurated by Honorable YB Tuan Chang Lih Kang, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation. ACSEAM aims to strengthen academic and research among ten ASEAN nations and China, driving advancements in microscopy and related scientific fields.
