TECHNICAL SUMMARY: The 13th conference on Frontiers of Electron Microscopy in Materials Science (FEMMS) 2011, will be held in Sonoma, CA, September 18 to 23. FEMMS is a biennial meeting focused on the most recent developments in the use of electron microscopy (primarily TEM) for materials science. This year's meeting is timely given the recent revolution in the development of aberration correctors and the increasing interest in the use of in-situ and ultrafast TEM methods. In this year's conference 46 speakers have been invited to discuss topics that include high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, ultrafast and in-situ microscopy, 3-D imaging techniques and various microscopy applications in nanoscience, including materials interfaces/defects and organic materials in bioengineering. The conference also features a distinguished lecturer, Professor Archie Howie, who has been selected for his long outstanding and exceptional contributions to the field of electron microscopy.NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: The conference is typically attended by about 100 participants. Details about the location, organization and history of the FEMMS conference can be found on the conference website: http://femms2011.llnl.gov/. The proceedings of this year's conference will be published in Ultramicroscopy and Microscopy and Microanalysis (depending on the content). Publication of the proceedings provides not only benefits to the conference attendees, including graduate students, but also provides opportunities for others who cannot participate in the conference. NSF support for this conference will be used to cover the registration and accommodation support for 10 graduate students. A main goal of the NSF proposal is to provide support for underrepresented graduate students (women and minorities) to learn about the latest capabilities in electron microscopy and to establish contacts and possible collaborations with leaders in the field.

技术概要：2011年第13届材料科学电子显微镜前沿会议（FEMMS）将于9月18日至23日在加利福尼亚州索诺马举行。FEMMS是一个两年一度的会议，专注于电子显微镜（主要是TEM）在材料科学中的最新发展。鉴于最近像差校正器的发展革命以及对使用原位和超快TEM方法的兴趣日益增加，今年的会议是及时的。在今年的会议上，46位演讲者被邀请讨论的主题包括高分辨率成像和光谱学，超快和原位显微镜，3-D成像技术和纳米科学中的各种显微镜应用，包括材料界面/缺陷和生物工程中的有机材料。会议还邀请了一位杰出的演讲者Archie Howie教授，他因其在电子显微镜领域的长期杰出贡献而被选中。非技术性总结：会议通常由约100名与会者参加。关于FEMMS会议的地点、组织和历史的详细信息可以在会议网站上找到：http://femms2011.llnl.gov/。今年会议的论文集将发表在Ultramicroscopy和Microscopy and Microanalysis（取决于内容）上。会议记录的出版不仅为包括研究生在内的与会者提供了好处，而且为无法参加会议的其他人提供了机会。NSF对本次会议的支持将用于支付10名研究生的注册和住宿支持。NSF提案的一个主要目标是为代表性不足的研究生（妇女和少数民族）提供支持，以了解电子显微镜的最新能力，并与该领域的领导者建立联系和可能的合作。
