WELCOME! On behalf of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA), the
Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS), the International Metallographic Society
(IMS), and the Microscopy Society of Canada/Société de
Microscopie du Canada (MSC/SMC), we invite scientists throughout the
world who develop and use microscopy to the jointly-sponsored Microscopy
and Microanalysis 2006 meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The meeting will take
place from July 30 through August 3, 2006. The venue for the meeting is
the exciting, and popular Navy Pier. The Program Committee, chaired by
Paul Kotula, has arranged a unique series of symposia and tutorials
covering both instrumentation and applications development as well as
sessions illustrating the practical uses of these developments in the
biological and physical sciences. As you look through this booklet, we
think you will agree that the Program Committee has put together a program
that will excite microscopists in all fields. The program features two
named Symposia. The first will be on “Cell Biology and
Microscopy” and is dedicated to the memory of Hans Ris and the
second will cover “Quantitative X-ray Microanalysis” and
honors Art Chodos. The program also has sessions celebrating the 50th
Anniversary of the Observation of Dislocations and the 50th Anniversary of
X-ray Mapping. Of course, an essential aspect of the scientific program is
your vital contributed paper! We encourage you to contribute your work for
presentation as part of this exciting program.
