A wide range of research topics in different fields of physics can be addressed by study of the self-conjugate N = Z nuclei, such as the np pairing, isospin symmetry, the rp-process and the properties of the electroweak interaction. This contribution focuses on the spectroscopy of NZ nuclei towards 100Sn. The latest results on the isomeric decay spectroscopy of NZ nuclei below 100Sn, such as the N = Z +2 nuclides 94Pd and 96Ag, the N = Z nuclide 96Cd and so on are highlighted. New opportunities in in-beam γ spectrscopy of NZ nuclei towards 100Sn, like 90Rh and 92Pd, with radioactive ion beams are discussed.
