Our goals are to promote sharing of microscopy and image analysis information, to circumvent the difficulty of distributing large images or files on the internet, and to create a unique source of quality images . These disks will contain high-quality images in a fast, user-friendly format. They may be copied and used for educational and other non-commercial purposes without copyright restriction.
Distribution: 5000 CDs will be distributed free of charge at scientific meetings around the world. If you are unable to obtain a disk at a meeting, we can send you one directly within the US or internationally.
Publisher: J. Paul Robinson, Purdue University

Meeting release: American Society for Cell Biology meeting, Dec 12-16, 1998, San Francisco
This series will follow the very successful PURDUE CYTOMETRY CD ROM Series (Vol. 1 - March 1996, Vol.2 - Dec 1996, Vol. 3 - Aug 1997, Vol. 4 - Feb 1998). These disks use the "web-on-a-disk" concept perfected in our laboratory. They are set up like web pages, with hot links allowing you to navigate through the disk. They are entirely independent of Internet connections, but if connected, users can also access relevant live web sites via hot links set up on the disk. Having this material on CD-ROM allows users to avoid time-consuming web searches for this specialized topic area. Images are loaded quickly on these web-on-a-disk productions - so heavy use of large images and graphics is feasible.
NOTE: The CDROM will operate on PC, MAC, OS/2 and UNIX systems. All formats are supported.
