Symposia Sponsorships
A09 - Surface and Subsurface Microscopy and Microanalysis of Physical and Biological Specimens
Surface properties dictate the performance of many physical and biological systems. The surface analyst is asked to detect and image species present in ever-lower concentrations and within ever-smaller spatial and depth dimensions. This symposium emphasizes state-of-the-art surface analytical instrumentation encompassing all aspects of surface and near-surface analyses, such as mass spectrometry, scanning probe microscopy and other probe-based techniques. We will cover advanced data analysis tools; correlative imaging (e.g., AFM and SEM; AFM and SIMS; FIB-SIMS); the use of complementary surface instrumentation to perform a complete analysis of complex systems; quantitative microanalysis; data processing; and surface analytical challenges. Both platform and poster presentations are encouraged.
Invited speakers include Dr. Thomas Mueller
B03 - Methods and Applications in Localization-Based Super-Resolution Microscopy
Single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) utilizes a large sequence of sparse, single molecule fluorescence images to achieve super resolution via estimating the location of many individual fluorophores within a sample. The final 'image' is a graph of the collection of these location estimates. Many probe labeling strategies, both genetic and organic, are now available that provide bright fluorescence as well as the requisite sparse activation. Creative hardware designs based on point-spread function engineering or interferometry can achieve different degrees of axial (z) localization precision as well as different imaging depths, depending on experimental requirements. Using appropriate dyes, image processing algorithms, and system design, sub-20 nm localization precision in x, y, and z can be routinely achieved. This high-localization precision, along with single-molecule sensitivity, has enabled a wide range of biological imaging applications such as sub-diffraction single molecule tracking, very high resolution (50-100 nm) imaging of multiple targets, and even structural reconstructions of macromolecular complexes (<10 nm) where particle averaging is applicable. Methods for fusing SMLM images with other imaging modalities are beginning to emerge.
P06 - In situ TEM at the Extremes
In situ TEM provides unique information about the response of materials under extreme conditions, including extreme environments and/or at extreme spatiotemporal resolution. For example, the degradation of materials under extreme environments (i.e., high temperature, corrosion, mechanical deformation and radiation damage etc.) can be investigated at high resolution with specialized holders or microscope systems. Or, the observation of materials that only exist at conditions far from room temperature. Often, extreme timescales are needed to capture transient events or reversible phenomena. This symposium invites contributions from all in situ TEM experiments that contribute to the methodology development or the understanding of materials at extreme conditions.
