3-D imaging processing
* 3-D reconstruction of histological, optical and tomographical
sections
* visualization models in 3-D and 4-D microscopy
* supercomputing in microscopy
* analysis of serial section images, 3-D scene recognition
* 3-D image restoration and image quality
CONTRIBUTION AND PUBLICATION OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
Papers are invited for oral and poster presentation from the fields
indicated by the scientific program and related areas. Deadline for
submission of abstracts is December 31, 1994. An extented abstract
(minimum 700 words and maximum 1500 words) is required for each
presentation, and will be published as a suplement issue of Zoological
Studies (ISSN 1021-5506). All text will be typeset by the publisher.
Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscript in electronic forms.
Files created from the following word processos are acceptable,
otherwise, please submit your manuscript in ASCII form (both Mac and
IBM-PC format). Manuscript can also be submitted by e-mail to: elepcc@
ubvms.cc buffalo.edu, however, a hardcopy has to be sent by mail (or
faxed) to the address in USA. A hardcopy is required accompany the
electronic form.
Mac Word, Wordstar, Word Perfect, Microsoft Word, Ventura, ASCII
Figures and photos are permitted, however they have to fit the
following format specified in the photo and diagram format guide for
direct photoreproduction. Original photographs (both B&W and color)
and line drawings are required. If it is possible, authors please
provide a FAX number to facilatate the transmission of galley proof in
early 1995. The organizing committee will make a selection of the
abstracts for oral presentation. By the end of January 1995 authors
will be notified about acceptance and the final program will be mailed
to all registrants.
