> Microscopy, to be held in Adelaide, South Australia, from February 4 -
> 8, 2002. Encompassing the areas of Electron, Scanned Probe and Confocal

> explore the many applications of these techniques, to keep abreast of
> the latest developments and to meet and mix with many of Australia's and
> the world's eminent leaders in the field.
> This meeting was last held in Adelaide in 1988. A lot has changed in
