Format of Meeting
Following the success of Botanical Microscopy 1991 in Durham, the
same team are organizing the meeting to be held in Oxford.  The
scientific programme will be based around presentations from
keynote speakers.
 
A call for abstracts will be made late 1994 and the organizing
committee will select suitable papers from these and invite the
authors to present them orally.  However, posters on any aspect
of plant cell biology involving microscopy may be presented.
 
Social
A reception is planned for the opening evening of the meeting and
an informal Conference Dinner will be held on the Thursday
evening.  A number of short tours around Oxford and its environs
will be offered on the Wednesday afternoon of the Conference.

Keynote and selected papers will be published as a special
edition of the Journal of Microscopy which will be distributed
to all delegates upon publication.  All manuscripts will be
subject to peer review.
