Presentations will focus on biological problems for which a combination of
microscopies [i.e. integrated microscopy] has been used. The speakers will
demonstrate by example the power, potential and limitations of various
microscopical techniques. The techniques which will be discussed include:
DIC, Confocal, 2-Photon Excitation Imaging, SEM, TEM, Cryo-specimen
Preparation, and AFM.

********************************************************************************
Following the symposium, the IMR will be conducting a 2-day workshop (Oct 2
and 3). We will be presenting lectures and provide "hands-on" experience
for the following techniques:
* 2-photon excitation imaging
* 4D DIC imaging
* Cryo-SEM
* High pressure freezing
* Reversible embeddment for SEM and TEM
Workshop attendence will be limited to 25 participants. A letter of
application is required. Once accepted a fee of $150.00 will be due.
