Stelzer Frank-Martin Haar ======================================================== Meeting Announcement: FOCUS ON MICROSCOPY 1999 12th International Conference on 3D Image Processing in Microscopy 11th International Conference on Confocal Microscopy April 11th-15th, 1999 European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Heidelberg, Germany Confocal microscopy, multiphoton excitation and deconvolution techniques are increasingly applied in the study of three-dimensional structures such as are encountered in biology, medicine and material sciences. Three-dimensional analysis and representation are crucial tasks in subsequent data assessment. These conferences offer a most efficient meeting point for developers and users working in these rapidly evolving fields and play an important role in the dissemination of information about new developments. Special attention will be given to the dramatic developments in live cell imaging and manipulation, such as the role of the green fluorescent protein.
