AMAS IX - Symposium Home

Introduction

Following the past successes of AMAS meetings, we invite you to Brighton for the ninth AMAS symposium. The meeting will be held at The Brighton Savoy, on the beach-front at Brighton.

The theme of this symposium is the microanalysis of great food and wine, sunshine, and beach sand. As such, it is suggested that, in addition to the standard conference accoutrements, attendees bring sunscreen, a hat, a beach towel, appropriate bathers (this does not include speedos), and any floatation devices they may require.

Purpose

The aim of the Symposium is to provide a forum where participants can discuss microanalysis and imaging, with emphasis on practical solutions and applications.

Contributions

We strongly encourage you to present recent work using scanning or transmission electron microscopy and microanalysis. The success of the meeting is entirely dependant on the quality (and quantity) of presentations.

Oral presentations

It is anticipated that all contributions will be in the form of oral presentations.

Workshops

A series of workshops prior to the symposium have been arranged to review and discuss the state of the art in analytical microscopy and microanalysis.
