The realm of materials science offers many challenges for revealing and characterizing microstructures. The art and science of metallography continues to advance to meet these challenges with new automated techniques for new materials and traditional engineering alloys. This sympo- sium will cover all aspects of specimen preparation for metals, ceramics, composites, polymers, microelectronics, and virtually any other material, as they influence character- ization techniques. Contributions come from all specimen preparation methods, not only mechanical grinding/ polishing, such as ion-beam techniques. The effects of sample preparation on revealing and characterizing micro- structure will be highlighted in this symposium including applications of light microscopy, image analysis, micro- and nano-indentation hardness, SEM imaging, EBSD or EDS, and any other relevant method.
A-12 ADVANCES IN ELECTRON CRYSTALLOGRAPHY FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH ORGANIZERS: SERGEI ROUVIMOV, WOLFGANG NEUMANN,CHONGMIN WANG, AND PETER MOECK
In Room 201 Tuesday, 1:30 PM Wednesday, 8:00AM Thursday, 8:00 AM 10:30AM Poster Session
Electron crystallography experiences a rapid growth due to increased demands for structure analysis of nano-crystals and advances in instrumentation. Aberration-corrected and computer controlled microscopes allow for automation while maintaining high resolution and high precision measure- ments and, thus, yield new exciting opportunities for crys- tallographic applications. This symposium will focus on advances in electron crystallography, its applications to or-
ganic and inorganic crystals, automated acquisition and handling of 3-dimensional electron diffraction data, nano crystallographic fingerprinting, precession electron diffrac- tion, 3D diffraction tomography in real and reciprocal space, and crystallographic data processing. The symposium will provide an opportunity to present papers on both metrol- ogy development and materials applications and feature a keynote talk on electron crystallography by Doug Dorset.
A-13 MICROSCOPY,MICROANALYSIS, AND IMAGE ANALYSIS IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES AND DIAGNOSTIC MICROSCOPY ORGANIZERS: ANDREW VOGT,CINDY SMITH, PHOEBE STEWART, AND KAREN WEIDENHEIM
In Room 105/106 Thursday, 8:00AM 10:30AM Poster Session
Thursday, 1:30 PM
Microscopy is playing an increasingly important role in both diagnostics and in drug discovery. The role of diagnos- tic microscopy in human, animal and plant disorders re- tains critical importance in today’s world. Pharmaceutical research and development laboratories are at the forefront of science and have developed specialized technologies. This symposium will present a variety of biological and materials science applications of significance to the microscopy com- munity. An informal forum will be provided for sharing of thoughts and strategies related to regulatory and other issues faced in our laboratories in addition to talks and posters by contributed and invited speakers.
A-14 EQUIPMENT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES &STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS ORGANIZERS: OWEN MILLS AND CHRISTOPHER GILPIN
In Room 203 Wednesday, 1:30 PM
With reduction in government funding it has become in- creasingly competitive to obtain grant funding from federal funding agencies. Agency budgets have been reduced and criteria for successful submissions evolve over time. This session will consist of a set of informal presentations, in an open forum format, by three grant applicants and represen- tatives from federal funding agencies—Office of Naval Re- search,National Institutes of Health and theNational Science Foundation. Agency representatives will give an overview of their process for announcing funding opportunities to- gether with a description of the application and review process. The discussions will address programs and proce- dures that pertain to acquiring major equipment that will be relevant to society members. In addition, agency repre-
