European Support Instruments for Optical Components Manufacturers is a  special session of EOSMOC 2011 - the 2nd EOS Conference on Manufacturing of Optical Components, to be held from 23 - 25 May 2011 in Munich, DE, under the umbrella of the World of Photonics Congress.  

Optical devices which incorporate liquids as a fundamental part of the structure can be traced as far back as the 18th century where rotating pools of mercury were put forth as a simple technique to create smooth spherical mirrors for use in reflecting telescopes.  The evolution of modern microfluidics has enabled the development of a present day equivalent of such devices centered on the marriage of fluidics and optics which has come to be known as Optofluidics. EOSOF 2011 is held under the umbrella of the WORLD OF PHOTONICS CONGRESS 2011 (22 - 26 May 2011).

The second EOS Conference on Manufacturing of Optical Components 2011 (EOSMOC 2011) will highlight significant future market trends, emerging technologies and associated prospective developments. It is held under the umbrella of the WORLD OF PHOTONICS CONGRESS 2011 (22 - 26 May 2011).
