The 5th Croatian Microscopy Congress with International Participation has successfully concluded. We sincerely thank all participants, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and partners who contributed to the scientific quality and welcoming atmosphere of CMC2026.

Participants who have not yet received their Certificate of Attendance, or who require a corrected certificate, are kindly invited to contact us at info@mikroskopija.hr.

The CMC2026 Book of Abstracts has been published and is available to download below. It brings together the abstracts of plenary and invited lectures, selected oral presentations, and poster presentations in life science and materials science.

The CMC2026 photo gallery is now available below, capturing highlights from the scientific sessions, social programme, and memorable moments shared in Osijek.

Thank you once again for joining us in Osijek. We hope to welcome you again at a future meeting of the Croatian Microscopy Society.

Join us at CMC2026

We are delighted to welcome scientists, researchers and professionals working in all areas of microscopy and imaging to Osijek, Croatia, for the 5th Croatian Microscopy Congress with international participation.

Organized by the Croatian Microscopy Society in collaboration with the Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek, and Faculty of Medicine Osijek CMC2026 will bring together cutting-edge research, innovative methods and vibrant discussion, creating a unique forum for networking and exchange in the field of microscopy.

In 2026, we also celebrate a remarkable milestone – 50 years since Croatia’s first scanning electron microscope was installed at the “Željezara Sisak” Institute of Metallurgy in Sisak.
CMC2026 proudly marks this anniversary, honoring half a century of advancement in electron microscopy and its impact on Croatian science.
