PROCEEDINGS OF THE EMAS '98 REGIONAL WORKSHOP "Electron Probe Microanalysis Today - Practical Aspects"3rd Regional Workshop in Barcelona, Spain Edited by: X. Llovet, C. Merlet and F. Salvat
Published by Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona (Spain) and the European Microbeam Analysis Society (1998)
Following the tradition in the EMAS, this 3rd Regional Workshop consists of a series of invited lectures and a poster session with contributions from the participants. The lectures provide a broad introduction to microanalysis, with practical considerations and hints, by recognised experts with a great experience in the field. The topics of the poster communications cover a wider spectrum including applications of microanalysis, quantification, Monte Carlo simulation, etc. The present Proceedings volume contains all contributions, lectures, and (separately) abstracts of poster communications, in alphabetic order of first author. You only have to browse through it to see that all invited speakers have supplied very detailed texts of their talks. This remarkable effort to share information, together with the positive response of the participants, makes sure that we will have a fruitful, high-quality meeting.
On behalf of the International Scientific and Local Organising Committees, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the invited speakers for kindly accepting to participate in this Workshop and for the time they have taken to prepare their contributions. The members of the EMAS Board have also given active support and advice to the organization. We are very grateful to the following institutions and companies that provided financial support to minimise the cost of the event: Universitat de Barcelona, Ministerio de Educación y Cultura, Generalitat de Catalunya, Ambassade de France in Spain, Leica España, and Monocomp Instrumentación. Our thanks also to the companies that have participated in the Workshop and to Ultramar Congress for their efficient organization work.
