Conference Venue
The conference, exhibition and poster sessions will take place
at the Examination Schools of the University of Oxford. The
University of Oxford was founded in the 13th century and is
Britain's oldest University. The Examination schools were built
in 1882. For further details about the University and the Schools
please visit the web sites listed below:
http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/schools/conference/
http://www.ox.ac.uk/aboutoxford/
Oxford is easily accessible by air, road and rail, being only 50
miles from London. There are direct coaches from both
Gatwick and Heathrow airports and a train from Birmingham
airport.
Accommodation
Accommodation has been reserved for participants at Keble
and Magdalen Colleges. Both Colleges are located in the cen-
tre and are within walking distance of the Examination Schools.
A single room with B&B at Keble College costs approx. Ł40.00
(superior standard bedrooms only). A single room with B&B at
Magdalen College costs approx. Ł39.00 (standard bedrooms
only). For further information about the Colleges please visit:

Registration Fees
The registration fee (3 full days) includes a Welcome Recep-
tion, refreshments and lunches throughout the conference,
one copy of the abstract book, one copy of the Proceedings
(available after the conference), and a ticket for the Confer-
ence dinner. The registration fees are as follows, subject to
confirmation in the final registration document:
Members: Ł279.00
Non-members: Ł335.00
Student members: Ł110.00
The member rate is available to all members of the Institute of
Physics, members of co-sponsoring Institutes (i.e. RMS) and
Societies, members of collaborating societies (i.e. Companion
societies) and members of the Business Partner Network.
EMAG 2003
Towards Objective Oriented Microscopy
Scientific Content
Electron Microscopy is going through the most revolutionary
period since its invention, with leaps in performance of sources,
imaging lenses and spectrometers all at roughly the same time.
Scanning probe techniques are also maturing into useful ana-
lytical tools. This conference provides a timely opportunity for
the microscopy community to appraise the current state of the
variety of techniques available.
The conference will address all aspects of electron and scan-
ning probe microscopy and associated spectroscopy includ-
ing:
€ New instrumentation
€ Sample preparation and nanofabrication
€ Structural materials (metals, ceramics)
€ Functional materials (magnetics, semiconductors)
€ Biomaterials
€ Nanomaterials
€ (E)SEM
€ Advances in imaging (HREM, HAADF etc)
€ Advances in nanoanalysis
€ Surfaces and interfaces
€ Theory of microscopy and spectroscopy
Sessions will be arranged by topic with keynote invited
lectures. These will be complemented by contributed oral and
poster presentations. Papers from postgraduate students are
particularly encouraged; correspondingly, registration fees will
be kept low and student bursaries will be available through the
Institute of Physics EMAG Group.
Plenary Speakers
€ Imaging and spectroscopy of individual atoms,
clusters and interfaces in electronic materials
and devices
D Muller (Lucent Technologies, USA)
€ Atom resolved AFM and energy dissipation

Advanced School
2 September 2003
The Advanced School provides an opportunity for postgradu-
ate students, research assistants and others with an interest to
learn about a range of advanced imaging techniques in
electron and related techniques from experts in the field. The
school will involve a combination of tutorial lectures and hands-
on demonstrations in the Department of Materials, using the
wide range of sophisticated instrumentation available there.
The lecturers/demonstrators will be leading exponents in the
techniques concerned. There will be considerable opportu-
nity for interaction. To maximise the effectiveness of the School,
numbers will be limited to about 20.
The Registration fee is Ł130 subject to confirmation.
For further details please contact Prof. David Cockayne, Dept
of Materials, University of Oxford, Parks Road, OX1 3PH, UK.

Trade Exhibition
Examination Schools
3 Sept - 5 Sept 2003
A trade exhibition and trade workshops will be fully integrated
into the meeting. The exhibition will be open for the duration
of the conference times and exhibitor workshops will run dur-
ing a mid-day session on each day, 3rd to 5th September.
To book exhibition and workshop space please contact Ron
Doole at University of Oxford. The full address is given above.
Social Programme
The social programme will include a Welcome Reception at
Magdalen College (sponsored by EDAX Inc.), an Exhibitor
Buffet at the Examination Schools and a Conference Dinner
at Balliol College.
Further details will be available on registration.

Submission of Abstracts
Both oral and poster abstract contributions are invited. Ab-
stracts are restricted to 300 words in length. Figures and dia-
grams are not permitted. The Programme Organiser will note
your preference for oral and poster presentations, but cannot
guarantee your preferred option.
Please submit your abstract by no later than 21 March 2003
using the following method:
€ WWW: full online submission of your personal details,

ence. Papers accepted for publication will appear in the Pro-
ceedings, which will be sent to registrants after the conference.
Poster Prizes
As in previous EMAG conferences, there will be cash prizes
for the best poster presentations. These will be sponsored by
major equipment manufacturers. The winners will be selected
by a panel of judges and the prizes will be presented at the
Conference Dinner.
