IUMAS8 Joint with the Annual Microscopical Society of Canada and FIB SEM Meetings
Abstract
A joint meeting of the International Union of Microbeam Analysis Societies (IUMAS) with the annual Microscopy Society of Canada (MSC) and FIB SEM Meetings (IUMAS8) will be held in Banff, Alberta, Canada, specifically at the Kinnear Centre. This Meeting is dedicated to microscopy development in the areas of life sciences and materials science and engineering. The development/support of the latest electron microscopy techniques span a wide range of Navy-critical applications, including Focused Ion Beam research related to cybersecurity, nanoscale lithography and connectomics. With the recent passage of the CHIPS Act in the USA, support for metrology related to semiconductors and batteries will enable, develop and communicate characterization techniques and workflows that are generally in the US Navy#s interest. Specifically, Prof Maureen Lagos is working on measuring evanescent surfaces in polar semiconductors for metamaterial heat transfer, and Xiangli Zhong of Manchester is developingcorrelative workflows to examine whole parts at the macro to nanoscale using focused ion beam, etc. The full program outline can be found on the IUMAS8 website: https://iumas8.wixsite.com/iumas8/schedule.The program will begin with a hybrid satellite workshop in Edmonton, Alberta comprising the MSC # Japanese Society of Microscopy (JSM) meeting on June 11, 2023. This will be followed by a day of optional workshops from the Microanalysis Society (MAS) and IUMAS on June 12, 2023. The full program will begin on June 13, 2023 with parallel program from IUMAS, the FIB-SEM user group, and a biological image processing workshop. The day will end with a multidisciplinary poster session. June 14 - 15, 2023 will consist of joint parallel sessions from IUMAS/MSC with topics including: transmission electron microscopy (TEM)/scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)/analytical microscopy; material applications; spectroscopy/spectromicroscopy; SEM/environmental SEM (ESEM)/in-situ microscopy;data processing/correlative microscopy; biological mix programming (single particle applications, light microscopy/super resolution, cryo electron tomography, biological multiscale imaging, methods development for biological samples in electron microscopy). A meeting banquet will be held on the evening of June 14, 2023.Desired outcomes related to US Naval Research include awareness and planning for Naval Research capabilities related to state-of-the-art materials development and characterization. While no particular conference proceedings are planned, the output will be monitored by the meeting Chair (Bassim) and a report will be prepared for ONR Global to lay out the latest in materials characterization, allowing possible future targets for ONRG for collaboration in specific domains.
