International Conference


"Lightmetry" and "Light and Optics in Biomedicine"

20 - 22 October 2004

Warsaw, Poland

 

DEADLINE for the final registration and delivering abstract of  papers 10 September 2004.


This is the third edition of the series of topical conferences initiated several years ago by late Professor Maksymilian Pluta, outstanding microscopist and many-years chairman of the Polish Chapter of SPIE. The intention of Warsaw Institute of Applied Optics and of SPIE-PL, is to continue with His plans. This year we have decided to bring the specialists devoted to lightmetry and biomedical application of optics together. There are a lot of subjects in common, many topics that overlap – that is the main reason for this decision. Therefore LM’04 and LOB’04 will be held in Warsaw at the same time: 20-22 October ’04. We cordially invite you to submit the papers and to come to Warsaw.
