This award will provide support for qualified undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers to attend the International Congress on Electron Tomography (ICET) in San Diego, CA, from November 5-8, 2006. This congress is the fourth in a series of workshops that was initiated in 1997 to begin to bring together practitioners developing and applying electron microscopic tomography. The meetings have provided a forum for intensive interactions and have catalyzed technical developments and an increased number of users. At this juncture, electron tomography is one of the most rapidly evolving approaches in multiscale 3D microscopy and is being employed for an increasingly broad range of applications, well beyond those envisioned at the time of the first conference. Electron Tomography is a new research area that produces 3-dimensional quantitative images from electron microscopy. Electron tomography is moving from a specialized experimental technique practiced by a few laboratories to one that is delivering critical new information to cell biologists, structural biologists and neuroscientists. Because electron tomography has been identified as a growth field, it is anticipated that the graduate students and postdoctoral researchers being trained today will go on to become the next generation lead investigators.

该奖项将为合格的大学生，研究生和博士后研究人员提供支持，以参加2006年11月5日至8日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的国际电子断层扫描大会（ICET）。该国会是1997年启动的一系列工作坊中的第四名，以开始开发和应用电动疗法。这些会议为密集型互动提供了一个论坛，并促进了技术发展和越来越多的用户。在这个关头，电子断层扫描是多尺度3D显微镜中最快发展的方法之一，并且正在用于越来越广泛的应用，远远超出了第一次会议时所设想的应用程序。电子断层扫描是一个新的研究领域，可从电子显微镜产生3维定量图像。 电子断层扫描正在从一些实验室实践的专门实验技术转变为向细胞生物学家，结构生物学家和神经科学家提供关键新信息的实验室。由于电子断层扫描已被确定为增长领域，因此可以预期，今天接受培训的研究生和博士后研究人员将继续成为下一代首席研究人员。
