Experts in the fields listed above have been invited to give lectures. Each
speaker will provide a review of the particular topic in question and ample
time for discussion will be provided.
In addition to the above, a special session will be held on the afternoon of
Monday 12 September on how to use the light microscope.
Technical Lectures will be organized by Exhibitors to act as a bridge
