Please send applications for lectures after registering for the Annual Meeting.
- Abstracts must be uploaded in PDF format.
Before submitting an application for a lecture, prepare a PDF file using the outline template.
◆Application period
January 10 (Fri) - February 18 (Tue) 2020 at 23:59（JPN time）
◆Application qualifications and number of applications
Both members and non-members of the Japanese Society of Microscopy may submit multiple applications for lectures. We are also accepting applications for general lectures at symposiums. We look forward to receiving a number of applications. We accept applications for membership in the Japanese Society of Microscopy any time. Non-members should refer to the website of the Japanese Society of Microscopy for information (http://www.microscopy.or.jp/).
◆General Lecture Sessions
We are calling for applications for lectures in the following categories. When submitting an application, please choose one category (I. Microscopic technology, B. Medical and biological sciences, M. Material science) and up to three session items. We will meet your requests as much as possible. However, the final decision lies with the Program Committee. This year’s Annual Meeting also features symposiums that accept general lectures. Please submit an application for a general lecture if there are relevant sessions. The organizers and Program Committee will determine if a submission is accepted for sessions (In some cases, this may be organized as a session).

◆Organized Session
Twelve symposiums are scheduled. Details will be announced later.
S-1：Japan–Canada Joint Symposium between JSM (Japanese Society of Microscopy) and MSC (Microscopy Society of Canada) “Development and applications of the methods combining interference/phase measurement techniques and analytic techniques”
【Organizers】
Shigeo Mori (Osaka Prefecture University)
Ken Harada (RIKEN)
Yasushi Okada（RIKEN）
Marek Malac (National Research Council Canada and University of Alberta)
Misa Hayashida ( National Research Council Canada)
【Outline】
A joint symposium will be held to promote mutual understanding and to deepen partnership between JSM (Japanese Society of Microscopy) and MSC (Microscopy Society of Canada). The symposium covers a broad range of topics, combining the advantages of phase and electron interferometry methods in Japan with advantages in analytical microscopy in Canada. In particular, the organizers welcome Canadian speakers to discuss radiation damage that sets the fundamental limit on all microscopy techniques. In this context, highly accurate and quantitative measurements in an electron microscope will be discussed. An important goal of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for early career researchers to develop new partnerships and provide young researchers to build international connections.
【Lecturers】Currently under consideration. About 7 speakers each from Japan and Canada, including early career researchers.
