In order to allow sufficient time for processing and approvals, if you are a non-US citizen planning to attend the a workshop on Raw Image Formats in Structural Biology to be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory on 22 May 2008, please complete the on-line "Guest Registration Form" located on the left-hand side of the BNL Home Page http://www.bnl.gov/. You will need to use Microsoft Internet Explorer in order to complete the on-line form.

If you have any difficulty with the system, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================== There will be a workshop on Raw Image Formats in Structural Biology to be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory on 22 May 2008. Over the past 2 years, imgCIF has seen increasing use, and the interactions among raw image formats for x-ray crystallography, neutron crystallography and microscopy have started to be addressed. This one-day meeting will be a follow-up to the 2006--2007 imgCIF workshops at the summer 2006 ACA meeting, at BNL in May 2007, and in summer 2007 in conjunction with BSR 2007 in Manchester and at the Diamond Light Source. We will have reviews of the current status of imgCIF, exploration of ways to move between imgCIF and NeXus using XML and HDF and ways to work with microscopy and tomography images. The morning will be used for presentations and the afternoon for discussions and plans for the future. There is no registration fee, but space is limited, so registration will be required. Lunch will be provided. If you are interested in participating, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] no later than 15 April 2008. The new imgCIF workshop series has been funded in part by NSF, NIH and DOE. -- ===================================================== Herbert J.
