Fw: [Microscopy] Hawaii 2005 presentations

>
> I am soliciting possible platform presentations for inclusion into a
> session on microscopy outreach and training for the 2005 meeting in
> HAWAII. People planning to attend this meeting in between hitting
> the beaches should consider participating in this session dedicated
> to advancing the inclusion of microscopy and imaging in classrooms,
> in the research lab, and among the lay public.

> TEACHING MICROSCOPY AND IMAGING IN THE DIGITAL AGE
>
> Computer technology is changing the ways we access equipment, view
> samples, record, manage, and disseminate images. Inside the
> laboratory, digital imaging has created the need for archiving
> systems, for managing and manipulating images, and for creating new
> digital tools to assist new users. Outside the lab, computer
> controlled instruments and digital imaging make it possible for
> classroom students to view and analyze microscopy data and images
> without requiring physical access to distant microscopes. In
> addition, digital imaging has greatly increased the possibilities for
> the public at large to see microscopic images in print media and
> museum exhibitions. This session will look at digital training
> approaches (e.g., virtual microscopes and telemicroscopy) , new
> teaching tools (digital training sessions), and outreach programs in
> classrooms and other public venues.
