XII International Congress for Electron Microscopy to be Held in Seattle, Washington, August 12-18, 1990

第十二届国际电子显微镜大会将于1990年8月在西雅图召开，这是自1962年以来首次在美国举行的世界电子显微镜大会。这一里程碑式的事件将为显微镜的理论和实践确立方向和目标，并确定本世纪剩余时间的研究重点。虽然重点将放在电子显微镜上，但其他先进的成像形式，如共焦显微镜和扫描隧道显微镜，也将得到全面报道。该科学计划安排了约55个研讨会和约250个讲座，由公认的国际专家举办，内容涉及晶体和非晶态材料的成像、表面和整体微观分析以及结构和微电子材料的应用。预计2600多名科学参与者将出席并贡献至少2800篇平台和海报论文。

The Twelfth International Congress for Electron Microscopy will convene in Seattle in August, 1990, as the first world EM Congress to be held in the United States since 1962. This mile- stone event will establish the directions and objectives for the theory and practice of microscopy and determine research priorities for the remainder of the century. Although the emphasis will be on electron microscopy, other advanced forms of imaging, such as confocal microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, will also receive full coverage. The scientific program is arranged around some 55 symposia and about 250 lectures by recognized international experts on imaging of crystalline and amorphous materials, surface and bulk microanalysis and applications to structural and microelectronic materials. More than 2600 scientific participants are expected to attend and contribute at least 2800 platform and poster papers.
