Dear Dr. Jeff Roser:
I am very interested on the position of Materials Characterization using TEM in Hewlett-Packard Laboratories.
I have extensive experience on the study of materialsÕ reliability and structure-properties
relationship using transmission electron microscopy. During my study of Ph.D degree with Dr. Lourdes Salamanca-Riba, we have performed studies to improve the lifetime of II-VI light emitting diodes (with 3M Co. II-VI laser group) and the performance of InSb-based position sensor (with Dale Partin in GM Co.). In addition, I have worked with Dr. Ron Anderson (from IBM East Fishkill) on the TEM and SEM analysis of Si circuits. Currently, I am a research fellow in Joint Research Center for Atom Technology (JRCAT) and have close collaboration with members in several groups for materialsÕs characterization. These studies include the reliability in ZnSe/GaAs, nucleation process and selectivity control of Si on Si using plasma - enhanced CVD, structural study of MBE grown GaN/GaAs, structural-magnetic properties in MnSb/GaAs and MnGa/GaAs, and formation of nanostructure in Mn-doped low temperature growth GaAs. During my stay in JRCAT since May of 1995, I have participated the ideas and development of processes in two patents related to the reliability and doping issues in ZnSe/GaAs.
Based on my previous and current collaboration experience with groups working in industry and research institute, I am familiar with the study of materials using transmission electron microscopy. I can provide close interaction and support with other group members in team problem solving.
Attached please find my resume that decribes my qualification for the position.
Best regards,
Sincerely,
Li-hsin Kuo

Greetings. Please forgive this posting if it is not relevant to this BB. This week, I\'m reporting and writing an annual update on microscopes in the life sciences. The article is for a weekly newspaper called The Scientist.
I\'m looking for a few well-informed people who can talk about the latest trends in microscope use by professionals in the life sciences. I\'m looking for an overview, perhaps within certain specialty subsgroups, with a few specific examples.
* Is new equipment enabling researchers to do things not possible a year or so ago?
* Are new techniques making existing microscope technology more useful?
* Any discoveries or advances in the past year or so that would have been impossible with out these new microscopes and/or techniques?
* What\'s hot now, and where are things headed in the next five years?
* What needs do researchers have, and how are manufacturers and suppliers meeting those needs?
The Scientist is mostly read by molecular biologists and pharmacologists, but the newspaper\'s audience also includes chemists, immunologists, biochemists, cell biologists, neuroscientists, physiologists.
Thanks in advance for your consideration of my query. Please respond by email with your name, phone number, ideas and possibly referrals by *Tuesday, 10 Dec.*

RE: Biologist/ electron microscopist/ research
Dear To whom it concerns,
I am posting my resume seeking employment opportunities.
I am seeking a position where my background and experience
may be utilized.
I am willing to accept responsibility and look forward to
challenging opportunities which enable me to grow.
I have a strong drive to learn all that I can so that I am an asset
to wherever I am working.
As part of my thesis work which was cellular and morphological,
I investigated the morphological and biochemical characteristics
of the extracellular matrix of invertebrate eggs. This work has
revealed that the egg coats swell when released into seawater and
that this extracellular matrix is composed of many types of sugar
moieties , and ECM proteins as revealed by lectin and antibody
immunofluorescence labeling.
I have these qualifications :
Expertise in Transmission Electron Microscopy
(Phillips 201, Phillips CM12STEM and Hitachi 7000) model microscopes.
Knowledge and experience with ultra-low temp fixation protocols
including Quick-freeze/ Deep etch/ rotary shadowing.
Utilized Electron Microscopy both Transmission and
Scanning electron microscopy for independent research .
Knowledge and experience in the technique of molecular
rotary shadowing for TEM.
Knowledge of basic biochemistry skills (SDS PAGE, native gels,
westerns, and column chromatography, protein assays).
Instructed undergraduate laboratory class in Mammalian Physiology.
Immunolabeling techniques for light microscopy
(direct/lectins, indirect labeling with antibodies) and electron
microscopy (immunogold).
Expertise in Photomicrography on Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss
(Light and EM level) and darkroom skills.
Proficient with Wordperfect, Quattro Pro, Sigmaplot,
Sigmastat, Macromedia Freehand, Adobe Photoshop.
Proficient with a Compix (c-imaging) image analysis system and
CSPI (Scanalytics) deconvolution software.
I have also learned the following techniques: sectioning
(ultramicrotome),spectrofluorimetry, spectrophotometry,
biochemistry skills, darkroom techniques and computer
based image analysis.
The results of the first part on my research were published
in Molec. Biol. Cell. 5, 94a and Micros. Res. Tech., 29, (6) 495.
(see resume). These results were also presented at the 1994 annual
meeting in San Francisco of the American Society for Cell Biology,
and the California State University EM symposium in 1994 and 1996.
I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss my training and job
experience with you and to provide you with details not listed on
the enclosed resume. I am highly motivated and look forward to hearing
from you soon!

We have 3D single lens converter technology which we use in Minimally Invasive Surgery, coupling to rigid endoscopes as small as less than 1mm. We have a prototype adapter for large optical microscopes of the type typically used in surgery. We are looking for a major manufacturing/distribution partner. Our 3D in endoscopy is currently rated as being extremely good and COMFORTABLE. Viewer friendliness is a major consideration with 3D and this prototype features our core single lens 3D imaging technology which is not dependent on someone having average eye spacing. Viewers observe on a high speed monitor (120 hertz) wearing LCS glasses. There is no limit to the display screen size and, in fact, the 3D improves with distance. The imaging is satellite and cable transmittable and, currently, video is recorded on SVHS format during endoscopy.

I am developing and marketing a MonteCarlo simulation program for electron trajectories in a scanning electron microscpe.
The program deals with multi-layer specimens, and can cope with almost any type of geometry.
After simulating a small number of trajectories (~ 3000), the parameters obtained include:
- backscattered number and energy
- secondary electrons data
- depth and radial dose functions
- energy dissipation (three dimensional function) inside the specimen
With the above parameters, it is possible to calculate other values:
- EBIC and CL signals for suitable specimens (already implemented)
- X-Ray generation and signal intensities (not implemented yet)
I am looking for support and requests for features for this program.

SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPY: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE.
17-21 NOVEMBER 1997
Short Course from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering,
Univeristy of Surrey, Guildford, UK
THE COURSE
The aim of this five day intensive course is to introduce the principles and practice of Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM), Scanning Force Microscopy (SFM) and other methods of Scanning Probe Microscopy.
The primary goal of the course will be to describe how the surfaces of various materials are characterised by employing SPM and what physical/chemical features can be deduced from their images.
This will be achieved through a balance of lectures, tutorials and laboratory demonstrations. This cours will provide a theoretical introduction to the field and the overview of recent developments. Lectures given by by leading SPM experts will be supported by supervised exercise classes in which experience will be gained in the solution of typical problems in SPM.
The Course will cover the basics of operation and advanced operation. Course registrants will have access to two STM and SFM microscopes in the Surface and Interface Reaction Group and much of the subject matter will be demonstrated on these instruments.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course will be of maximum benefit to you if you are, or expect to be involved in using any form of Scanning Probe Microscopy as a research, disgnostic or trouble-shooting tool.
ENGINEERS, CHEMISTS AND PHYSISISTS WHO ARE USING CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY, SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY AND TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY WILL ALSO FIND THE COURSE EXTREMELY USEFUL.

The main goal of the Congress is the presentation and discussion of progress made in all areas of Endocytobiology. The application of newly gained knowledge in Endocytobiology in biotechnological-medical fields will be considered in relation to the evolution of prebiotic and living systems under the aspect of synergy and self-organization of these systems. The various sections of the Congress deal with aspects of cellular symbioses and parasitoses and their significance for the differentiation and evolution of eukaryotic cells. Of special interest is the analysis of the physical, cytological, genetic, biochemical, molecular biological and bioinformatic interrelationships. Equally important for basic research and biotechnological applications will be questions about the regulation of the synthesis and degradation of organellophilic proteins in the interplay of the subcellular systems.
The themes of the Congress will be very well represented by international and national research groups. Major new impetus has been provided worldwide in recent years by the molecular biological analyses. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from Symbiogenesis to Carcinogenesis and Therapeutic Gene Transfer. In Workshops the questions of the "Physiology / Pathophysiology of Aging", "Evolutionary Biotechnology" and"Non-invasive Microanalysis" will be covered.

SCI-EYE INTRODUCES THE FIRST AFFORDABLE MICROSCOPE DIGITAL CAMERA, THE MMC-2
- For Home, Education & Industry Use
SANTA CLARA, Calif., -- May 25, 1998 - For its first product release SCI-EYE, Inc. set new standards in offering value and wide functionality when it announced today the release of the MMC-2 (Mini Microscope Camera). The MMC-2 is a miniature digital microscope camera that was designed to be used in all microscopy applications in the Home, School or Industrial Laboratory use.
"What makes this product so unique is its wide range of uses. For a product that is very competitively priced, the MMC-2 is amazingly versatile," said Joe O\'Niel, SCI-EYE\'s General Manager. "With the ability to capture color still pictures AND video, the MMC-2 is perfect for any type of general image capturing that would be done through the eye of a microscope."
The color CMOS sensor within the camera unit has a preset color matrix and automatically controls exposure and color balance (Optional Manual Control Available Via Software). With the use of the Video Control software, which incorporates Stefra Corporation Video Enabling Technology, the user can easily capture and view captured images and segments of captured video (with audio attachments). The captured images have a maximum resolution of 320 x 240 and 24 bit RGB color for brilliant images and clear video.
The camera unit itself fits in a International Standard 23mm microscope barrel while the interface cable connects to a Standard, 8 Bit Bi-Directional or ECP Compliant Parallel Port on a IBM Compatible Personal Computer (PC). In addition, the MMC-2 connects to the keyboard port for power (150mA) while not interfering with the keyboard itself.
SCI-EYE, Inc. minimum system recommendations call for a 90 MHz Pentium PC with at least 8 MB of RAM, Parallel Printer Port, AT or PS-2 Keyboard Port, 5MB disk space, SVGA card with 65,000 or more colors at 640 x 480 resolution or higher, and Microsoft Windows 3.11 or Windows 95.

Dear collegues
We are developing a miniaturized confocal laser scanning microscope for in-vivo investigations in the colon.
Presently, we are looking for fluorescence markers. The aim is to generate an image which resembles as close as posibble the H-E stained slides routinely used by pathologists.
Obviously, the stains should not be toxic and should penetrate easily into the cells. However, for a demonstration during an animal experiment toxicity is not so critical.
It is realtively easy to stain the nucleus with toxic acridin orange or Syto 17.
Now, we are looking for additional stains to mark cell membranes, etc...
to gain more information about the structure of the investigated colon tissue.
Is there anyone who could suggest me a possible fluorescence marker?

Joachim Knittel

Hello. My name is Jim Rice.
A small company that I founded is about half-way through a project to develop an inexpensive, powerful Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) which emphasizes interaction, not just scanning. Electronic and mechanical lithography will be it\'s forte, as will manipulation of nanometer-sized particles and (possibly) molecules. Our hope is to bring a cheap, very capable instrument to the individual, school or company to allow them to participate in the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology.
The price will be in the low to mid thousands of US dollars. A kit option will be offered.
If you have any interest in scanning probe microscopes, this is your chance to influence our STM specs. We have a (very) short survey at http://www.angstromtools.com. The site also has further specs, pictures of hardware and interaction results. If you get a chance, could you please surf on over and complete our survey?
This survey is important because it will to some degree determine whether we can get follow-on financing.
We\'ll be giving a special discount on the introductory price to those who fill it out and subsequently purchases one of our STMs.
We have posted quite a lot of information on scanning probe microscopes on our page: academic article references, supplier contact info, etc., plus comments received to date in our survey.
Our STM will have a 50 micron scan range, atomic resolution, and complete programmability. It will attach to your IBM-compatible computer through the parallel port. The electronics will be fully digital except for an analog Z-feedback loop (with digitally-selectable parameters).
We are using a proven scanning head, already used for three years in ambient, vacuum, and vacuum/cryo versions. It uses inertial sliding for coarse tip approach, and is an elegant and simple design, smaller than a spool of thread. Very rigid and thermally stable. The head will be vacuum-ready (made with vacuum compatible parts) to facilitate user conversion to vacuum operation, but will be an in-air design. We have teamed with a veteran STM researcher at the University of Minnesota.

insert into msg_text values ('000280', '
The DVC-1300 camera, manufactured by DVC Company (http://www.dvcco.com) in Austin, TX, was recently demonstrated at the Neuroscience show in Los Angeles (Nov. 1998) and at the ASCB show in San Francisco (Dec. 1998). This new series of microscope cameras includes the DVC-1300 monochrome and the DVC-1300-C color camera (1300 x 1030 x 10bit-digital x 12f/sec), both with a list price of $4995.
The camera was displayed at the Neuroscience show with a Leica microscope and at the ASCB show with Zeiss and Olympus microscopes; images may be viewed at the Image Gallery on DVC\'s website (http://www.dvcco.com). Applications include virtually all types of microscopy, including bright-field, fluorescence etc.
Some of the features of the camera(s) include:
1) The ability to display 12f/sec real-time color images in full-resolution (1300x1030). This compares VERY favorably with competing cameras that are based on tunable-LCD filters and can display color images at about 1frame/4sec! For end-users, this means the ability to focus on a slide without resorting to a small, black-and-white, postage-stamp-sized "focus window" that is characteristic of cameras that are equipped with tunable-LCD filters. This is of special interest to bright-field microscopy users (histology etc.)
2) The ability to dynamically focus on low-light fluorescent images, without guesswork. The user sets (using software) a high-gain, 12f/sec mode and focuses perfectly (and quickly, in a few seconds) on the image .. then sets the camera in the min. gain, long-term integration mode to acquire a perfectly focused fluorescent image which can be saved to a TIFF file etc. In this manner, the user can get a perfect image without guesswork, and iterative re-focusing which is a common complaint of users of LCD-filter based cameras.
3) The ability to deliver 10-sec exposures without blemishes, hot-pixels or noise in an un-cooled camera. Many microscope users have been convinced (erroneously) that they need a cooled camera (typically a $3000 add-on) to do long-term exposures. They were pleasantly surprised, at the Neuroscience and ASCB shows to find that with today\'s state-of-the-art CCD cameras, upto exposures of about 10sec, cooling is not required. Note: The DVC-1300 cameras are based on a NEW Sony CCD .. and Sony does not "grade" their sensors. DVC benefits from their guarantee of "no blemishes" and are able to supply the equivalent of a "grade 1" imager at a reasonable price, since CCD process technology has improved. While a cooled version of DVC\'s camera is available, about 90% of the users don\'t need it and can save money!
4) At a $4995 price point, labs with multiple microscopes do not need to "time-share" their cameras, as they sometimes do with more expensive cameras. This results in a considerable amount of down-time, while the users have to re-adjust focus settings etc.
5) Works with PC and Mac platforms.')

Ladies & Gentlemen
My name is Tim Sheehy and I work in the Oil Industry as a Logging Geologist. One very important aspect of my job is to examine rock cuttings produced by the drilling process and subsequently brought to surface.
These cutting are normally of sedimentary rocks, 0.5 - 2mm in size but generally towards the lower end of this scale. They size and shape is analogous to gravel in a swift running stream or coarse sand on a beach.
We examine these cuttings through reflecting light microscopes with only washing and sometimes drying of the cuttings as preparation.
My question is can anyone recommend either a method or particular product whereby I can attach camera or some other device to my microscope to capture a digital image of the cuttings being examined.
I do not need a live feed but I do need colour, due to budget issues I would not be interested in anything costing over US $10,000.
I have access to either Sun Sparc stations(2s & 5s) or current Wintel PCs as my computing platform.
From the web based research I have already conducted I am so far leaning towards either the Polaroid (DMC /DMC Ie) or Kodak Scientific (MDS 120) Digital cameras.

Conference announcement:
Microscopy and Microanalysis
of Engineering Materials
(MMEM2000)
Monash University, 14th-17th February, 2000
www.monash.edu.au/eng/microengineering/mmem
The Centre for Advanced Materials Technology (CAMT), in conjunction with the Department of Materials Engineering at Monash University, the Australian Key Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis and the Institute for Materials Engineering Australasia, will be hosting an international symposium entitled Microscopy and Microanalysis of Engineering Materials (MMEM2000) next February. The four day event comprises a three-day conference between the 14th and 16th of February 2000 to be followed by a one day workshop on 3-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) on the 17th of February.
The MMEM2000 event will be staged at the Clayton campus of Monash University in Melbourne and focuses on the microstructural characterisation of engineering materials. The impetus for this meeting arises partially from the establishment of an Australian atom probe field ion microscope in the Engineering Microscopy and Microanalysis Facility at Monash University. The intention of MMEM2000 is to draw together electron microscopists and atom probe field ion microscopists in order to create a forum for advancing the understanding of the microstructure-property relationship in engineering materials. Refereed papers will be published by Elsevier in a post-conference edition of MICRON.
The program will feature invited lectures from an international mix of distinguished scientists, including Hans-Olof Andren, Chalmers University, Sweden; Alfred Cerezo, The University of Oxford, UK; Kazuhiro Hono, National Research Institute for Metals, Japan; Alain Menand, The University of Rouen, France; Michael K. Miller, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA; Jiang F. Nie, Department of Materials Engineering, Monash University; Manfred Rühle, Max-Planck Institute, Germany; John C.H. Spence, The University of Arizona, USA; David Seidman, Northwestern University, USA and David B. Williams, Lehigh University, USA. Contributed presentations, posters and open discussion sessions are also planned. The purpose of the workshop is to advance the state of knowledge of 3DAP microscopy and microanalysis and will include a tutorial-style overview of current instrumentation and analysis techniques, with particular attention given to the reduction and interpretation of 3DAP data.

Greetings,
I am attempting to objectively assess the number of individual subunits in a
radially symmetrical protein molecule. I have produced quality TEM
micrographs of the protein which allow relatively convincing subjective
assesment of the quarternary conformation of this molecule through visual
inspection, however I would like to produce a rotational power spectrum of
the molecule to add more weight to this data. Crowther and Amos (J. Mol.
Biol. 60 (1971) 123) introduced rotational power spectrum analysis of
individual particles. This technique has since been productively used in
many studies. In this method,based on the Fourier Transform, a line graph
is produced which plots the rotational frequency against the log of power.
The rotational frequency value which corresponds to the highest power is
taken to be the correct number of subunits composing radially symmetrical
particle.
I have a rather limited background in mathematics, signal processing and
programming although I am trying to familiarize myself with the more general
concepts of these areas as they apply to this problem. To date I am able to
generate the frequency transform of an isolated image in NIH Image using the
FFT macro, and I\'m pretty much stuck not knowing where to go from this
point.
Comments from others more knowledgeable than I in the area of image
analysis would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
