International Kunming Symposium on Microscopy
 
        27-29 (tentatively) July, 2000
 
            Kunming, P. R. China
 
Organized by the
 
     Chinese Electron Microscopy Society

SCOPE
The symposium is intended to provide an overview of present achievements and expected future trends in microscopy including
the instrumentation, imaging science, theories, new techniques, new methods and applications in chemistry, physics,
mineralogy, material sciences, life science, environmental science and other basic science areas. It will also cover scanning
probe microscopy and near-field optical microscopy. Leading scientists will be invited to present introductory overview
lectures to symposia. English will be the official language.
 
VENUE
The symposium will take place in Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province and one of the most famous tourist destinations
in China. Being blessed with the agreeable climate because of its subtropical location and altitude of 1894 meters, Kunming
enjoys the fame of Spring City --- a city full of the beauty of spring all the year round. It is also fascinating due to the
unique natural features such as the Stone Forest, Western Hill, Golden Temple and Ethnic Minorities Village. Therefore,
Kunming has the great honor to be selected the host city of the 1999 International Horticultural Exposition (EXPO'99). The
EXPO halls and gardens displaying flowers and plant life from all over the world certainly much highlight the city. They will
last continuously after the EXPO'99.
 
Yunnan Province is located in South China bordering on Vietnam, Laos and Burma. The citizens are from 26 minority
nationalities, each of which has her own language and folklore. Here people show a rich-color ethnic album by their unique
history and culture, local customs and traditional festivals. The great variety of nationalities in Yunnan can be seen on the
streets as well as in the EXPO Garden in Kunming. The southern atmosphere and the variety of cultures and customs can be
enjoyed while strolling through the market streets away from the big avenues of the city.
 
INVITATION
The Chinese Electron Microscopy Society (CEMS) would like to extend a warm invitation to all friends and colleagues in
microscopy to join us at the '2000 International Kunming Symposium on Microscopy.
