The standards seek to classify inclusions in steel and sum the total length per unit area.

With a short extension of the abstract submission deadline, the count of abstracts has gone past 1000, thus exceeding the number of contributions received at EMC 2004 in Antwerp. Now the program committee together with the appointed session chairs has to make sure that all these abstracts are properly assigned and incorporated into an exciting, well-structured program for participants and organizers alike. The Eveni on-line submission system has worked very well (less than 1% of the submissions have caused some minor problems) and will now also be used for the reviewing process by the session chairs. The next deadline is that of the early bird registration set to June 30, until which you can take advantage of reduced registration rates. The deadline for hotel reservation is July 31.

Confocal microscopy can provide 3D information about fluorescently labelled cells with the added advantage that it excludes out of focus light. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides direct high resolution images of surface features of a sample. Here we look at the microscope configuration necessary for simultaneous confocal and AFM, and examine how the combination of the two techniques together with the ‘Direct Overlay’ function can be used to great advantage in cell research for correlating surface and internal features.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"44 1","pages":"56-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73151711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
