PROCEEDINGS OF THE EMAS '96 REGIONAL WORKSHOP
"Electron Probe Microanalysis of Materials Today - Practical Aspects"
2nd Regional Workshop in Balatonfüred, Hungary
Edited by: J.L. Lábár, E. Heikinheimo and W.A.P. Nicholson

Published by Kossuth Lajos University (Debrecen, Hungary) and the European Microbeam Analysis Society (1996)
ISBN 963 472 121 4

The scientific programme is divided into invited talks and contributed poster presentations, in accordance with the EMAS tradition. As for the regional workshops, the emphasis is on a broad introduction of microanalysis, highlighting practical considerations and transferring information and hints to the audience, which come from long experience. The topics of poster contributions are not strictly defined. Participants report their results, most of which contain some application of microanalysis. Beside the 11 invited talks we have over 30 posters resulting in a Proceedings volume with about 200 pages. The titles are given in alphabetic order of the first author, both for the talks and (separately) for the 1-page abstracts of the posters. Advertisements from our sponsors are collected at the end of the Proceedings.

The intense interest and the financial support of our sponsors is gratefully acknowledged. Their financial contributions helped to keep prices at an acceptable level, especially important for Middle- and Eastern-European countries. Our special thanks goes to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) and to the National Committee for Research and Development (OMFB) both of whom supported our workshop without any commercial interest. We are also grateful to the following companies who volunteered in supporting this meeting above the minimum requested level: Advanced Microbeam, Cameca, and Noran Instruments. Special grants by EMAS are also appreciated, since it facilitated participation for students and some of our older colleagues. Refereeing efforts of Patrick Nicholson and Erkki Heikinheimo are also appreciated, together with the continuous stream of help and advice from Luc Van't dack. Last but not least, my director Dr. László Bartha, and the heads of my department and subdepartment Dr. György Radnóczi and Dr. Péter Barna are thanked for their patience allowing me to devote part of my time to the organisation of this workshop.
