The Portuguese Society for Electron Microscopy (SPME) was founded in 1966, in General Assembly, by the Portuguese Society for Natural Sciences. In 1990 the name of the SPME was changed to Portuguese Society for Electron Microscopy and Celular Biology (SPME-BC). From the end of 2005, the Society is entitle Portuguese Society for Microscopy (SPMicros).
Since its foundation this Society has organized an annual scientific meeting, in which its members present their investigation. In these meetings, recognised national and international experts have been invited for plenary lectures. This year the Directive Board of SPMicros will organize the XLII Cientific Meeting (INCOMAM’07) that will be held in 6-7th December 2007 in Coimbra (Hotel D. Luis), Portugal. INCOMAM’07 will have oral and poster presentations which will give delegates the opportunity to discuss their research with colleagues. Plenary lectures will be present by eminent researchers in microscopy on three topics of major international significance in microscopy (Biological and Medical Science, Materials Science and Nanotechnology and Instrumentation and Techniques) and will be targeted at a multi-disciplinary audience.
We look forward of seeing you in Coimbra.
