Program

The fields of research covered by this conference are at the forefront of the drive to develop technology to make smaller and smaller structures. We have ventured into size regimes where we are often dependent on microscopes and the skill of microscopists to see the results of our work (and often what went wrong).

To highlight the importance of micrographs, EIPBN holds an annual micrograph contest. Submissions are sought from our community. Micrographs need not be related to research or to any paper or topic presented at the conference. Submissions may be purely for their beauty and ability to excite curiosity.

All entries will be evaluated based on technical and artistic merit by a distinguished panel of judges. The judges will select the winners! Any entry that does not meet the rules outlined in the link below will be disqualified. Awards will be announced at the Thursday Night Banquet. 

The entries will be judged both from a technological and artistic point of view.

A panel of judges will disqualify any entry that it believes has not conformed to the rules and will select the winners. Awards will be announced at the Thursday Night Banquet. There are six categories:

• Grand Prize
• Most Bizarre
• Best Electron Micrograph
• Best Ion Micrograph
• Best Photon Micrograph
• Best Scanning Probe Micrograph
• 3-Beamers Choice Award (voted on by EIPBN attendees)
