Our invited speakers to date include: • Ben Buse (University of Bristol, UK): field emission EPMA. • John Donovan (Probe Software, USA): quantitative compositional X-ray mapping. • Karsten Goemann (University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia): Fine tuning SEM for quantitative analysis and combined EDS-WDS • Mike Jercinovic (University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA), Trace element analysis • Colin MacRae (CSIRO Mineral Resources, Clayton, Australia): Cathodoluminescence • Mike Mengason (NIST, USA): Standards based SEM-EDS analysis • Aurelien Moy (University of Wisconsin): Thin films and and quantitative measurements of non-traditional X-ray lines. • William Nachlas (Syracuse University, USA): Standards and reference materials QMA 2019 will be held at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, from June 24-27, 2019. This topical conference will focus on EPMA-WDS, SEM-EDS, and advances in microanalysis, including cathodoluminescence, micro X-ray fluorescence, and other topics. The meeting will consist of a day of user meetings and interaction with sponsor representatives, and a three-day plenary meeting which includes tutorials and advances in microanalysis, instrumentation demos, group lunches and other networking opportunities, social mixers and a banquet. Thanks to our sponsors!
