High Resolution Field Emission SEM in

Biology

A Pre- Meeting Workshop

A one- day special workshop on High Resolution Field Emission SEM In Biology has been organized by Drs. Stanley Erlandsen and James Pawley and will be held on Saturday, August 10, 1996, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel (one of the Meeting hotels) in downtown Minneapolis. This all- day meeting will deal with recent and state- of- the- art advances in field emission SEM, signal formation, cryomethods including high pressure freezing, and high resolution imaging by secondary and backscattered electrons. To date, invited speakers participating include Drs. Martin Muller, Paul Walther and Rene Hermann (Zurich), Roget Wepf (Heidelberg), James Pawley, Hans Ris and Ralph Albrecht (Wisconsin), Mandayam Parthasaranthy (New York), Klaus Peters (Connecticut), Rob Apkarian (Georgia) and William Wergin (Maryland). Registration is $10 and sign- up for this meeting is found on the Advanced Registration Form. For further details, you may contact Dr. Stanley Erlandsen at 612- 624- 1491 (office; voice mail), by fax 612- 624- 8118 or via email at "stan@snowman.med.umn.edu" at the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis.

Resources on the World Wide Web for

Microscopy and Microanalysis

Saturday, August 10,1996

A Topical Conference Sponsored by the Microbeam Analysis Society to be held prior to Microscopy & Microanalysis '96

As the World Wide Web continues to rapidly expand into every part of our lives, this conference will focus on resources on the Web that are of use to microscopists and microanalysts. It will feature live presentations on the access of these resources and how they may best be used and tutorials on developing your own web pages. There also

will be time for attendees to have some hands-on experience. Aclassroom full of computers (a mixture of MS-DOS and Macintosh fully connected to the Internet will be available.

Although this pre-meeting topical conference is organized by the Microbeam Analysis Society, it is open to everyone, regardless of societal affiliation. It will be a full day, Saturday, August 10. Registration is separate, and information may be obtained from:

Computer Workshop & Software Exchange.

Organizers: Nestor J. Zaluzec & John F. Mansfield.

The computer workshop and software exchange will be operating during the entire meeting. Participants can view, discuss, and copy the more than 500 Mbytes of data, programs, and information in the libraries maintained by the Societies. Various live demonstrations of Telecommunications interfaces will be demonstrated during the Meeting.

There will be a halfday workshop for Minneapolis area teachers and microscopistvolunteers; interested registrants are very welcome. Learn how to present microscopy in your own school district.
