Conference on microanalysis of particles

Microbeam Analysis Society
Microanalysis of Particles
2009 Topical Conference
Westmont, Illinois
April 21-23, 2009

This conference takes a pragmatic approach to a subtle subject--the
microanalysis of particles.  Techniques covered include EDS, WDS,
AEM, SIMS, XRD, synchrotron XRF.  We have invited some of the most
well known names in the industry to present extended talks in the
morning. In  the afternoon, attendees will be able to select among
various hands-on modules.  Both novices and experienced analysts
will benefit.
