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 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.

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!

As part of the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS) symposium marking 30 years of energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), this article reviews many innovations in the field over those years. Innovations that added a capability previously not available to the microanalyst are chosen for further description. Included are innovations in both X-ray microanalysis and digital imaging using the EDS analyzer.

Remarkable Progress

2008 marked the 40th anniversary of the seminal paper “Solid-State Energy-Dispersion Spectrometer for Electron-Microprobe X-ray Analysis” by Ray Fitzgerald, Klaus Kiel, and Kurt Heinrich [Science (1968), 159, 528] that introduced the Si(Li) energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) detector as a practical analytical tool to the electron microscope community. In recognition of that anniversary, the Microscopy Society of America and the Microbeam Analysis Society organized a symposium at the 2008 Microscopy and Microanalysis Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico to review the remarkable progress in Si(Li) EDS that has made elemental analysis available on virtually any electron beam platform.

The scope of the Second International Conference on Advances in Physical Sciences and Materials 2021 (ICAPSM 2021) was to promote the integration of advanced areas in Physical Sciences and Materials Science and Engineering. The field of advanced physical sciences and materials have not only helped the development in various fields in Science and Technology but also contributes the improvement of the quality of human life to a great extent. The focus of the conference was on state-of-the-art technologies and advances in Physical Sciences and Materials. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic & International travel restrictions all around the world, ICAPSM 2021 was organised through Google Meet online platform during 12 – 13, August 2021. The conference was technically sponsored by the department of Mechatronics Engineering, SNS College of Technology, Coimbatore. ICAPSM 2021 provided a remarkable opportunity for the academic, research and industrial communities to address new challenges and share solutions and discuss future research directions in the above fields. ICAPSM 2021 had the presentation from the experts, professionals, academicians and researchers from all over the world. There is an immense opportunity to learn and express the views through interactive sessions and technical paper presentation.

Contact X-ray imaging is presently developing as an important imaging technique in cell biology. Our recent studies on human platelets have demonstrated that the cytoskeleton of these cells contains photondense structures which can preferentially be imaged by soft X-ray imaging. Our present research has dealt with platelet activation, i.e., the complex phenomena which precede platelet appregation and are associated with profound changes in platelet cytoskeleton. Human platelets suspended in plasma were used. Whole cell mounts were fixed and dehydrated, then exposed to a stationary source of soft X-rays as previously described. Developed replicas and respective grids were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
