Carrascosa (Madrid) Miran Ceh (Ljubljana) Christian Colliex (Paris) Fedor Ciampor (Bratislava) Elisabetta Falcieri (Urbino) Srecko Gajovic (Zagreb) Jasmina Grbović Novakocić (Belgrade) Ferdinand Hofer (Graz) Pavel Hozak (Praha) Agnes Kittel (Budapest) Aleksandra Korac (Belgrade) Joachim Mayer (Aachen) Amelia Montone (Rome) Antonio Nanci (Montreal) Margit Pavelka (Vienna) Béla Pécz (Budapest) Rok Romih (Ljubljana) Nenad Tomasic (Zagreb) Gustaaf Van Tendeloo (Antwerpen) Marco Vittori Antisari (Roma) Local Organizing Commitee Federico Bastianelli Michela Battistelli Lorenzo Bedini Sabrina Burattini Adriana Di Cristoforo Paola Ferri Luigi Gobbi Loretta Guidi Oliviero Rusciadelli Sara Salucci Giuseppe Arancia (Roma) Maria Balsamo (Urbino) Gianni Barucca (Ancona) Riccardo Cuppini (Urbino) Elisabetta Falcieri (Urbino) Pietro Gobbi (Urbino) Paolo Mengucci (Ancona) Amelia Montone (Roma) Agnese Molinari (Roma) Andrea Minelli (Urbino) Stefano Papa (Urbino) Local Secretariat Elisabetta Fucili Local registration phone: It is with great pleasure that, together with the president of the Italian Society of Microscopical Sciences and with all the organizers, we welcome you at MCM2011, the Multinational Congress on Microscopy, that, in the occasion of its Xth anniversary, will be organized in Urbino. The Congress venue is the Scientific Campus of Urbino University Carlo Bo, a modern building surrounded by gardens and terraces, in which all congress activities take place, as well as Welcome Party, Lunches, Coffee Breaks, Farewell Party, Assemblies and Board Meetings. As in previous Multinational Congresses, Plenary Sessions, by outstanding scientists from Europe, USA and Canada, will be in the Campus Main Hall in the morning. Parallel sessions on Instrumentation and Methodology, Life Sciences and Materials Science are further scheduled in smaller rooms nearby. Well known scientists, suggested by Austrian, Croatian, Czechoslovak, Hungarian, Serbian, Slovene and Italian Societies of Microscopy, will chair the thematic sessions, where invited talks and oral presentations will cover important fields of the session contents. 5 poster prizes per topic will be available and winners will be awarded during the Gala Dinner, on September 8, at the Sala Raffaello, in Urbino historical centre. The scientific programme, resulting from your contributions and consisting of more than 320 abstracts, appears very stimulating. The presence of two relative new sessions, namely Ultrastructural Pathology, in Life Sciences, and Microscopy in cultural heritage, in Materials Science, raised particular interest, well reflecting a well known italian tradition and important Urbino peculiarities. The large participation of young scientists, possibly also due to low registration fees and to a number of scholarships from EMS and SISM, demonstrates the full achievement of congress goal and is a great pleasure for all of us. The Scientific Campus, almost entirely at MCM2011 disposal, has an articulated structure allowing the location of the trade exhibition at the ground floor, near the parking and not far from halls. We worked a lot to offer 26 equipped spaces, where the most known companies in the field of microscopy can display their recent instrumentations for all the congress time. To facilitate trade exhibition visits, poster session on Instrumentation and Methodology will be located close to the commercial exhibition area, and a coffee break point will be present from Monday to Friday in the adjacent garden. The visit of the magic city of Urbino, appearing, when observed from the Campus, as a middle age castle, is strongly recommended to delegates. A continuous bus service will be at disposal of participants and accompanying people, to allow to see the Palazzo Ducale, the Oratori, the Casa di Raffaello and our green sweet hills with their attractions. We should like to thank all persons who helped us in the organization of MCM2011, friends of the Italian Society of Microscopical Sciences, colleagues, young collaborators, PhD students and our skilfull and precious university technicians. We are also grateful to prof. P. Mengucci, who, with great dedication and tenacity, took care of the Proceeding book. Finally, I am indebted to the Rector, who gave us any type of practical support and its unlimited trust. And thank to all of you for being here and for making MCM2011, with your contributions, an outstanding event in all fields of microscopy. Sincerely Elisabetta Falcieri Urbino, September MCM 2011 MCM
