Subject: BIOS '99 Announcement, Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology
III (BO31)
BiOS '99 - SPIE's Annual Symposium on Biomedical Optics - 23-29 January
1999, Convention Center, San Jose, California, USA
Conference Chair: Robert C. Leif, Newport Instruments
Program Committee: Wolfgang Beisker, GSF-Forschungszentrum für Umwelt und
Gesundheit (FRG); James F. Leary, Univ. of Texas Medical Branch/Galveston;
Calum E. MacAulay, British Columbia Cancer Research Ctr (Canada); Andrey I.
Poletaev, Institute of Molecular Biology (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 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 and data manipulation
new digital image analysis technology including advances in 3D imaging
new components for analytical cytology instrumentation including
ultraminiature systems
new dyes and probes
new and unusual applications of analytical cytology
new methods and techniques for standardizing analytical cytology
measurements.
Paper Abstracts Due from Authors: 29 June 1998.
Manuscripts Due from Authors: 28 December 1998.
Final Summary (200 words) Due Date: 23 November 1998.
The papers presented at the Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology II
and Functional Imaging and Optical Manipulation of Living Cells of BIOS '98

BIOS '99 is the premier technical forum for presenting R&D advances and new
applications results in this field and is part of Photonics West, the
largest lasers,
electro-optics, and imaging event in North America; at Photonics West '98,
technical papers on state-of-the-art R&D were made available to over 4300
researchers
from 38 countries. Photonics West comprises international technical
symposia, continuing education programs, and a diversified technical
product exhibition
that drew 10,600 attendees in 1998.
Companies interested in exhibiting at this symposium may contact the
Exhibits Department at SPIE headquarters, 360/676-3290. Fax: 360/647-1445.
