Subject: Call for Papers for Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology IV,
BIOS 2000 Conference (bo26)
Chair: Robert C. Leif, Newport Instruments
Program Committee: Dario Cabib, Applied Spectral Imaging Ltd. (Israel);
James F. Leary, Univ. of Texas Medical Branch/Galveston; Calum E. MacAulay,
British Columbia Cancer Research Ctr. (Canada); Jeffrey H. Price, Univ. of
California/San Diego; Alexander P. Savitsky, Institute of Biochemistry
(Russia); 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, stains, or software 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:
a.. new analytical parameters and probes including new dyes
b.. time-based detection systems
c.. new methods for cell separation
d.. high-speed sorting and analysis of cells and other biological
objects
e.. multiparameter cell analysis, data manipulation, and data format
standards
f.. cellular spectroscopy
g.. new digital image analysis technology including advances in 3D
imaging
h.. new components for analytical cytology instrumentation including
ultraminiature systems
i.. new and unusual applications of analytical cytology
j.. new methods and techniques for standardizing analytical cytology
measurements.
Date: BiOS 2000, International Biomedical Optics Symposium, 23 to 28 January
2000
Location: San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California USA
Abstract Due Date: 28 June 1999; Manuscript Due Date: 27 December 1999

BiOS 2000 is the premier technical forum for presenting the latest in
research and development and for launching new applications and technologies
(both clinical and laboratory) important for advancing the field of
biomedical optics. BiOS is part of Photonics West, the largest lasers,
electro-optics, and imaging event in North America. 5000 technical attendees
gather yearly from over 40 countries. The exhibits contain many of the
parts and subsystems required to build analytical cytology and other
laboratory instrumentation.
BiOS 2000 is also cost effective. There is a tram line which permits one to
stay at comparatively inexpensive motels; and San Jose is served by multiple
airlines including at least one low cost carrier. Plan now to participate!
Companies interested in exhibiting at this symposium may contact the
Exhibits Department at SPIE headquarters, 360/676-3290. Fax: 360/647-1445.
