From: Bob Leif Meeting: SPIE BiOS 2002: Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology VI (BO11) Session. This is an ISAC affiliated meeting. Date: 18–25 January 2002 Location: San Jose, California USA Conference Chair: Robert C. Leif, Newport Instruments Program Committee: Yuval Garini, Applied Spectral Imaging (Israel); James F. Leary, Univ. of Texas Medical Branch/Galveston; Calum E. MacAulay, British Columbia Cancer Agency (Canada); Jeffrey H. Price, Univ. of California/San Diego; Alexander P. Savitsky, Institute of Biochemistry (Russia); Attila Tarnok, Univ. Leipzig (Germany) The focus of this conference will be on advanced technology for: Digital microscopy of fixed specimens Flow cytometry Cell separation. Both the scientific and engineering communities are invited to submit abstracts. Companies that manufacture components relevant to analytical cytology are invited to have their scientific and/or engineering staff submit technical papers characterizing their work. The suggested topics include, but are not limited to, new developments in the following areas: Multispectral and multiparameter imaging and measurements including acquisition and analysis methods Time–based detection systems Probes including new dyes Analytical cytology informatics including: new algorithms and methods for multiparameter cell analysis, clustering, and data manipulation, as well as software standards New methods and technology for cell separation including high–speed sorting and analysis of cells and other biological objects and magnetic–paramagnetic particles New components for analytical cytology instrumentation including ultraminiature systems Automated 3D image cytometry including tracking tissue section surfaces, 3D image segmentation, and 3D image fluorometry/densitometry New and unusual applications of analytical cytology. Due Dates: Abstract: 25 June 2001; Final Summary: 19 November 2001; Manuscript: 17 December 2001 For questions specific to Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology V (BO11), please contact Robert C.

Farkas, Univ. of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon Univ. Biomedical Vibrational Spectroscopy (BO09) Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology VI (BO11) Optical Biopsy III (BO21) Endoscopic Technologies (BO22) Genomics, Proteomics, and Related Technologies for Biomedical Applications (BO33) Methods for Ultrasensitive Detection (LA06) Other Technical Conferences that may be of interest to Analytical Cytometrists are: Clinical Diagnostic Systems: Technologies and Instrumentation Multiphoton Microscopy in the Biomedical Sciences II Three–Dimensional and Multidimensional Microscopy: Image Acquisition and Processing IX Functional Imaging and Optical Manipulation of Living Cells and Tissues Molecular Probes and Dyes: Development, Application, Detection Microarrays: Design, Fabrication, and Reading BiOS 2002 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 2002 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, +1 360/676-3290. Fax: +1 360/647-1445. E-mail: exhibits@spie.org
