Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute on Transmission Electron Microscopy in Materials Science; Santiago, Chile, January 2006

这项由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国能源部（DOE）联合支持的泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖将于2006年1月在智利圣地亚哥的智利大学举行。该研究所由理哈伊大学J. A. Eades博士组织，将包括讲座、讨论和实验室演示，涵盖通过透射电子显微镜可获得的先进表征技术的原理、实践和应用。在过去的十年里，无论是在硬件上还是在数据的使用方式上，都取得了许多进步，这使得透射电子显微镜更强大，更有价值。研训所将在文书既定基本原则的范围内集中注意这些进展。研究所还将致力于这些技术所支持的应用，特别是在材料科学和地质学领域，以促进整个美洲电子显微镜的发展。它将提供一个独特的机会，不仅可以了解该领域的最新进展，还可以建立和发展未来的合作关系。该研究所将有大约48名来自美国和拉丁美洲的参与者，包括研究生和初级和资深的调查人员，以及大约11名教员（在该领域活跃的国际公认的科学家）。在拉丁美洲的一些国家，将通过各种专业学会和当地显微镜学会的通知和会议来招收学生。目标是提供结构化的机会和非结构化的时间，以在参与者之间建立牢固而持续的联系。研训所的讲座将通过在研训所网站上发布的方式提供给与会者和其他任何人。所使用的网站要么将成为美洲电子显微镜学会委员会（CIASEM）网站的一部分，要么被链接到该网站。CIASEM是国际显微镜学会联合会的区域组织，是美洲显微镜的伞形组织。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award jointly supported by the NSF and Department of Energy (DOE), will take place at the University of Chile, January 2006, in Santiago, Chile. The institute, organized by Dr. J. A. Eades, Lehigh University, will consist of lectures, discussions and laboratory demonstrations, to cover the principles, practice and applications of the advanced characterization techniques available through the transmission electron microscope. In the last decade there have been many advances, both in the hardware and in the way in which the data are used, that have made the transmission electron microscope more powerful and more valuable. The Institute will focus on these advances in the context of the established basic principles of the instrument. The Institute will also dedicate substantial effort to the applications that are supported by these techniques, especifically in the areas of material science and geology, to promote the development of electron microscopy throughout the Americas. It will provide a unique opportunity, not only to learn about the latest advances in the field, but also to establish and develop future collaborations. The Institute will involve approximately 48 participants from the United States and Latin America, including graduate students and junior and established investigators, and about 11 instructors (internationally recognized scientists, active in the field). Recruitment of students will be done through notices and meetings of various professional societies and local microscopy societies in several countries in Latin America. The goal is to provide both structured opportunities and unstructured time to develop strong and continuing bonds among the participants. The lectures presented at the Institute will be made available to the participants and to anyone else by posting them on the Institute web site. The web site used will either form part of the InterAmerican Committee of Societies for Electron Microscopy (CIASEM) web site, or be linked to it. CIASEM is the regional organization of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy and is the umbrella organization for microscopy in the Americas.
