Microscopy & Microanalysis '97

REGISTRATION BULLETIN/CALL FOR PAPERS AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER!

As a member of MSA, MAS, or HCS, you will automatically receive the Registration Bulletin/Call for Papers that describes the meeting content and contains the abstract forms to be submitted by March 15, 1997. If you are not a member of one of those societies, for this registration/abstract submission information, please contact: MSA Business Office - Phone: 800-538-3672 or 508-563-1155; Fax: 508-563-1211; or, E-mail: BusinessOffice@microscopy.org.

When you receive your Registration Bulletin/Call for Papers, please note that for the abstract submission data form, you are encouraged to indicate one of the 30 plus symposia for your abstract. These symposia have poster sessions associated with them; therefore,you can choose a symposium for your abstract, even if you prefer it to be a poster rather than a platform presentation. If there is no symposium that fits your abstract, there are approximately 50 other categories from which to choose. The following is an updated version of the scientific program and its organizers for Microscopy & Microanalysis '97.
