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.

该奖项将为合格的本科生、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)。本次大会是 1997 年发起的一系列研讨会中的第四次研讨会，旨在将开发和应用电子显微断层扫描技术的从业人员聚集在一起。这些会议为密集互动提供了论坛，并促进了技术发展和用户数量的增加。目前，电子断层扫描是多尺度 3D 显微镜中发展最快的方法之一，其应用范围越来越广泛，远远超出了第一次会议时的设想。电子断层扫描是一个新的研究领域，通过电子显微镜产生 3 维定量图像。 电子断层扫描正在从少数实验室实践的一种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重要新信息的技术。由于电子断层扫描已被确定为一个增长领域，预计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。
