[log in to unmask]  AI
is frequently full of little tips, tricks and buying info that are hard to
find elsewhere
in one collection... and the editor (Barry Mazor)really understands the
importance of
microscopy in its broadest applications! AI can be found at many
trade shows. I've seen them everywhere from PittCon to the SPIE/OAS meetings.

The benchmark article will appear in the MAY issue.  There was also a lot
of overflow
material on SEM and low light camera, so there is a remote possibility for a
follow-up article.

Thanks for the response.
