Reminder: Abstracts Due

I believe that this meeting will be of interest to Analytical Cytologists.
The deadline for abstracts for BiOS '97 is Monday 15 July, 1996. If there is
sufficient interest, I would like to have a discussion on Light Microscopy
and DICOM. This could be either during the Advanced Techniques in Analytical
Cytology Meeting or with permission of the SPIE at an evening special
interest group meeting.

Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology

Conference Chair: Robert C. Leif, Newport Instruments

Program CoChairs:
James F. Leary, Univ. of Texas Medical Branch/Galveston;
Tore Lindmo, Univ. of Trondheim-NTH (Norway);
Calum E. MacAulay, British Columbia Cancer Agency (Canada);
John A. Steinkamp, Los Alamos National Lab.

The focus of this conference will be on advanced technology for flow
cytometry, image analysis, and cell separation including cell sorting.
Both the scientific and engineering communities are invited to submit
abstracts. Companies who manufacture components relevant to analytical
cytology are invited to have their scientific and/or engineering staff
submit technical papers characterizing their technologies.

The suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

- new analytical parameters and probes
- time-based detection systems
- new methods for cell separation
- high-speed sorting and analysis of cells and other biological objects
- multiparameter cell analysis
- new digital image analysis technology including advances in 3D imaging
- new components for analytical cytology instrumentation
- new dyes and probes
- new and unusual applications of analytical cytology

This conference is just one of 27 topics to be held at the BiOS '97 symposium,
which is part of the larger event called Photonics West '97:
8-14 February 1997
San Jose Convention Center
San Jose, California USA
