Presentations will focus on biological problems for which a combination of 
microscopies [i.e. integrated microscopy] has been used.  The speakers will 
demonstrate by example the power, potential and limitations of various 
microscopical techniques.

This year we are happy to invite attendees to present their work during the 
Saturday evening poster session.  There is a limit of approx. 40 posters which can 
be displayed, therefore they will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.  A 
one page (8.5X11) typed abstract should accompany the registration form and fees.

********************************************************************************

Following the symposium, the IMR will be conducting a 2-day workshop.  We will be 
presenting lectures and provide "hands-on" experience for the following techniques:
                *       Multiple-photon excitation imaging
                *       4D DIC imaging
                *       Cryo-SEM
                *       High pressure freezing
                *       Reversible embeddment for SEM and TEM

Workshop attendence will be limited to 25 participants.  A letter of application is 
required.  Once accepted a fee of $150.00 will be due.
