Preliminary Information, Workshop format:
Registrants will obtain access some months before the meeting to an on-line slide viewing facilitiy (Scanscope). Broadband internet access is optimal for this. This facility is accessible to the registrant 24 hours a day until the meeting (technical problems aside).
Each workshop will run for 1/2 day.
Some - limited access to microscopes will be available for registrants to view the glass slides both on the day and for some limited time before the workshop (during the congress).
The workshop format assumes that one microscope is shared between two people.

The ISVD and WCVD6 would like to acknowledge the generous sponsorship from Olympus,
who will be supplying these microscopes.

Numbers wll be restricted, the registration process is as above.
Please note that these additional 1/2 day workshops are part of the Congress and as such the workshops are only available to full Congress registrants. Please click here for the link to WCVD6.
