We are pleased to announce the inauguration of the International Conference on X-ray Optics, Detectors, Sources, and their Applications (XOPT`16) as part of the Optics and Photonics International Congress 2016 (OPIC2016) in Yokohama, Japan.
X-rays have facilitated a number of key scientific discoveries in recent years. Continuous technological breakthroughs in X-ray sources, optics, and detectors have laid the foundation for these achievements. For this conference, we are inviting leading experts in these fields from around the world to exchange the latest status of the developments, and to discuss the future. We believe it is appropriate to host this conference in Japan, as the Japanese scientific community has contributed significantly to the development of state-of-the-art X-ray optical technologies over the last fifty years.
We are happy to welcome you to participate in and enjoy the Conference.
