WELCOME FROM THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE

Microscopy and Microanalysis 2005 promises to be a dynamic meeting proving that good science can transcend national boundaries. In addition to the usual sponsoring societies, the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) and the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS), the International Metallographic Society (IMS) will again be a co-sponsoring society of the meeting. We are also fortunate that with the prime location of the meeting in Hawaii, many of the Pacific Rim Microscopy Societies will be joining us for the meeting. These include the Committee of Asia-Pacific Societies for Microscopy (CAPSM), the Australian Microscopy and Microanalysis Society (AMMS, Inc.), the Australian Microbeam Analysis Society (AMAS), and Microscopy New Zealand (MNZ). This truly international representation will provide attendees with the opportunity to observe how microscopy and microanalysis are advancing multiple fields of science in much of the world. The M&M 2005 Executive Program Committee, comprised of co-chairs from each of the participating societies, has put together a comprehensive scientific program that will address a variety of cutting-edge topics in the applications of microscopy in the biological and physical sciences and in the development of new instrumentation and techniques.

Aloha! On behalf of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA), the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS), the International Metallographic Society (IMS), the Australian Microscopy and Microanalysis Society (AMMS, Inc.), the Australian Microbeam Analysis Society (AMAS), Microscopy New Zealand (MNZ), and the Committee of Asia-Pacific Societies for Microscopy (CAPSM), we welcome members of microscopy and microanalysis societies throughout the world, and particularly those in the Pacific Rim, to our jointly-sponsored international Microscopy and Microanalysis 2005 meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, scheduled for July 31–August 4, 2005. The Program Committee, chaired by Bob Price, has already arranged an interesting series of symposia and tutorials, including sessions on pathology, microorganisms, macromolecules, nanotechnology, instrumentation, materials characterization, microanalytical techniques, focused ion beam, and advances in microscopy. There will also be a special Presidential Symposium, “The Golden Anniversary of Imaging Atoms,” to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first images of atoms obtained using field-ion microscopy by Müller and Bahadur. Of course, an essential aspect of the technical program is your vital contributed paper! There are great reasons to arrive early for M&M 2005. Besides the outstanding technical programming for M&M 2005, there will be an excellent Pre-Meeting Congress and a series of topical one-day courses providing a perfect way to acclimatize to the local time zone! Our venue in Honolulu will be all the more enjoyable thanks to the dedication and hard work of the M&M 2005 local arrangements committee, co-chaired by Tina Carvalho and Marilyn Dunlap. A fabulous opening reception on the lawn of the Sheraton Waikiki will be held on July 31, 2005 to welcome you. The Hawaii Convention Center will be our venue for technical symposia, short courses, and the commercial exhibition, with plenty of space for meeting new colleagues and renewing acquaintances. Our Sustaining Members and Exhibitors are committed to making the Commercial Exhibition a must-see event, and a great opportunity to examine new instrumentation in a unique setting. Microscopy and Microanalysis 2005 promises to be an exciting international scientific meeting in a most delightful venue. We look forward to seeing you in Honolulu!

Microscopy and Microanalysis 2006 will be the premiere meeting of the year for scientists and technologists interested in learning about the latest advances in applications and techniques for the analysis of a broad range of materials in the biological and physical sciences, as well as nano- and bio-technology. M&M-2006 will again host the largest commercial exhibition of microscopy and microanalysis equipment and related accessories in the world. In addition to the usual sponsoring societies, the Microscopy Society of America (MSA), and the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS), the International Metallographic Society (IMS) will again be a co-sponsoring society for the meeting. We are also fortunate that the Microscopical Society of Canada/Société de Microscopie du Canada (MSC/SMC) will also be co-sponsoring the meeting this year. The M&M-2006 Executive Program Committee, comprised of co-chairs from each of the sponsoring societies, has put together a comprehensive scientific program that will encompass the state-of-the art in microscopy and microanalysis in 2006, and we look forward to welcoming you to Navy Pier!

The Executive Program Group for Microscopy and Microanalysis 2004 set out with the challenge of drafting a compelling scientific program for the annual meetings of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) and the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS) that would be equal to the excitement of organizational change being discussed by the societies. We feel that we have met the challenge, providing a diverse and balanced program that looks forward to new opportunities and presents the current state-of-the-art for microscopy and microanalysis. For the third consecutive year, the program is strengthened by the co-sponsorship of the International Metallographic Society (IMS), which is fast becoming an annual partner in the M&M meetings. M&M is the largest annual meeting of its kind in the world, and features an awesome commercial exhibit of microscopy and microanalysis equipment and accessories, with the latest commercial innovations featured and available for hands-on demonstration. We envision Savannah as a venue that will be remembered for historic steps forward in science and technology. The heart of the program comprises symposia in areas of biological sciences applications, physical sciences applications, and advances in instrumentation and technique, which feature both invited and contributed papers, and both platform and poster presentations. Contributed sessions are featured in a comprehensive topical listing.

WELCOME! On behalf of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA), the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS), the International Metallographic Society (IMS), and the Microscopy Society of Canada/Société de Microscopie du Canada (MSC/SMC), we invite scientists throughout the world who develop and use microscopy to the jointly-sponsored Microscopy and Microanalysis 2006 meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The meeting will take place from July 30 through August 3, 2006. The venue for the meeting is the exciting, and popular Navy Pier. The Program Committee, chaired by Paul Kotula, has arranged a unique series of symposia and tutorials covering both instrumentation and applications development as well as sessions illustrating the practical uses of these developments in the biological and physical sciences. As you look through this booklet, we think you will agree that the Program Committee has put together a program that will excite microscopists in all fields. The program features two named Symposia. The first will be on “Cell Biology and Microscopy” and is dedicated to the memory of Hans Ris and the second will cover “Quantitative X-ray Microanalysis” and honors Art Chodos. The program also has sessions celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Observation of Dislocations and the 50th Anniversary of X-ray Mapping. Of course, an essential aspect of the scientific program is your vital contributed paper! We encourage you to contribute your work for presentation as part of this exciting program.

The Microscopy and Microanalysis meeting this year is being hosted by the Microscopy Society of America, the Microbeam Analysis Society, and the International Metallographic Society. On behalf of our respective societies we welcome you to Fort Lauderdale. Known as the Venice of America for its extensive system of waterways and canals, Ft. Lauderdale is a thriving near-tropical paradise with miles of beaches and world-class fishing and diving. We think you will find Fort Lauderdale an excellent venue for an excellent technical meeting. The Local Arrangements Committee, headed by Ron and Dale Anderson, has done an excellent job preparing for your arrival so that you can enjoy the meeting and the beautiful surroundings.
