The Microscopy Society of America, the Microanalysis Society, and the Field Emission Society invite you to join us at Microscopy & Microanalysis 2017 in St. Louis...the birthplace of blues, one of the BBQ capitals of the world, and the historic Gateway to the West.

The theme of the M&M 2017 meeting is “Anniversaries”. To help commemorate the 75th anniversary of MSA, the 50th anniversary of MAS, and the 50th anniversary of the invention of the Atom Probe, we are excited to offer special anniversary programming at M&M 2017. Anniversary lectures by pioneering figures in microscopy and microanalysis are featured in special morning and midday sessions. Details are on Page 5 of this brochure and online at www.microscopy.org/MandM/2017.

The pre-meeting program is especially robust this year, featuring six Sunday Short Courses and four Pre-Meeting Congresses, including one organized by the MSA Student Council and geared specifically towards students, postdocs and early career professionals. The technical program will commence with two exciting Plenary talks featuring speakers Eric Betzig, winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy,” and Keith Riles, a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration that in 2015 detected gravitational waves, a prediction of Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

Immediately following the plenary session, the largest microscopy/microanalysis instrument exhibition in the world opens to participants. Plan to visit the more than 100 companies that will display their latest equipment and services. The social activities of the opening reception, and daily “happy hours” accompanying each day’s poster and awards sessions, have become “can’t-miss” events of learning and fellowship.

For a complete description of all the symposia, contributed sessions, educational opportunities and the multiple award possibilities from the three organizing societies, please see the Call for Papers (distributed with the November Microscopy Today) or go to: http://www.microscopy.org/MandM/2017/.

The Call for Papers submission site is now open! The deadline is February 15, 2017. On behalf of MSA, MAS, and IFES, we look forward to meeting you in St. Louis!

X61 Focused Ion Beam Applications and Equipment DevelopmentsSunday, August 6, 2017 | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PMINCLUDED IN REGISTRATION FEE: Lunch, PM Break

Organized by the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Focused Interest GroupORGANIZERS: Nicholas Antoniou, ReveraSrinivas Subramaniam, Intel Corporation

Focused Ion Beam technology is used in a variety of fields from electronics to life sciences. New developments on instrumentation and applications will be presented as well as established best practices in FIB. The topics to be covered are: 

• New developments in instrumentation and lab operations

• TEM sample prep

• Soft matter and other challenging samples for FIB-SEM

• FIB lithography and ion implantation

• Gas-assisted etching and deposition

One hour will be allotted to each category with 2-3 papers and ample time for open discussion. At the end of the congress, posters will be set up for informal interaction with the authors and participants.

X62 Smaller, Faster, Better: New Instrumentation for Electron MicroscopySunday, August 6, 2017 | 8:30 AM – 5:00 PMINCLUDED IN REGISTRATION FEE: Breakfast, AM Break, Lunch, PM Break

Organized by the Aberration-Corrected Electron Microscopy (ACEM) Focused Interest GroupORGANIZERS:

Paul Voyles, University of WisconsinHuolin Xin, Brookhaven National LaboratoryJuan-Carlo Idrobo, Oak Ridge National LaboratoryPhil Rice, IBM

Developments in instrumentation drive new science. Now, two decades after the first working aberration correctors, this pre-meeting congress will address the question, what’s next? Topics covered will include advances in the following:

• Detectors, especially high-speed pixelated and segmented detectors;

• Monochromators to achieve energy resolution below 10 meV; • Aberration correctors, especially at low voltage; • Fast beam manipulation, especially for compressed sensing;• High-brightness sources.

Example applications and supporting advances in data processing and simulation will also be included. The meeting will consist of invited talks and a poster session.

X63 Understanding Radiation Beam-Damage during Cryo-, ETEM, Gas- and Liquid-Cell Electron MicroscopySunday, August 6, 2017 | 8:30 AMINCLUDED IN REGISTRATION FEE: Breakfast, AM Break, Lunch, PM Break

ORGANIZERS:

Katherine Jungjohann, Sandia National LaboratoriesTaylor Woehl, University of MarylandPatricia Abellan, SuperSTEM Laboratory (UK)

Electron-beam induced radiation damage to gases, liquids, and vitrified ice is a technical problem for the electron microscopy (EM) study of natural and engineered structures as they exist in their ambient environments. This one-day congress is designed to provide insight into the processes that occur when a high-energy electron beam interacts with a material, its gas/liquid/solid embedding medium and the interfaces between them. Steady-state radiation conditions will be evaluated in terms of temperature variations, external probing, mass transport, and imaging modes for describing the reactive system. Speakers will highlight the electron-dose threshold tolerances, low-LET ionizing radiation effects, damage mechanisms, prevention, and control of radiation effects for small volume environmental studies. The format will consist of invited presentations from radiation chemists and individuals with significant contributions to understanding electron-beam effects for environmental EM and in-situ x-rays cells. The congress will feature a lunch-time poster session and a panel discussion to identify the major challenges going forward, and should be of interest to EM researchers in the areas of cryo-EM, ETEM, gas-cell EM and liquid-cell EM.
