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 and sponsored workshops 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).
