From: Bob Leif To: cyto-inbox Meeting: SPIE BiOS 2001: Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology V (BO29) Session. This is an ISAC affiliated meeting. Date: 20-26 January, 2001 Location: San Jose, California, USA Conference Chair: Robert C. Leif, Newport Instruments Program Committee: 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); John A. Steinkamp, Los Alamos National Lab. The focus of this conference will be on advanced technology for flow cytometry, digital microscopy of fixed specimens, 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 staffs submit technical papers characterizing their work. The suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas: * new analytical parameters and probes including new dyes * multispectral imaging of cells * multiparameter cell analysis and data manipulation * time-based detection systems * new digital image analysis technology including advances in 3D imaging * new methods for cell separation * high-speed sorting and analysis of cells and other biological objects * new instrumentation components including those for ultraminiature systems * new and unusual applications of analytical cytology * new methods and techniques for standardizing analytical cytology measurements * software standards for analytical cytology.

Farkas, Carnegie Mellon Univ. and Univ. of Pittsburgh * Spectral Imaging: Instrumentation, Applications, and Analysis (BO27) * Functional Imaging and Optical Manipulation of Living Cells and Tissues (BO28) * Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology V (BO29) * Three-Dimensional and Multidimensional Microscopy: Image Acquisition and Processing VIII (BO30) * Multiphoton Microscopy in the Biomedical Sciences (BO31) Other Technical Conferences that may be of interest to Analytical Cytometrists are: * Clinical Systems * Reporters * Fluids and Molecular Species BiOS 2001 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 2001 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. E-mail: exhibits@spie.org
