ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

PRESENTATION TYPES

• Oral Presentation

• Poster Presentation

The submission process for APMC 2025 is entirely online. All submissions, whether for oral or poster presentations, must be submitted online. An abstract submission template can be found below. All submissions must follow this format to be considered for acceptance in the program. Those abstracts that don’t follow this format will be returned to the submitter and asked to re-submit once corrected.

Your submission should be a condensed version of your presentation and include all significant findings. Write the text so readers who are not specialists can appreciate the purpose of the study and understand the procedures, conclusions and findings. All submissions are reviewed by the program committee and all submissions will be eligible for awards and prizes.

Abstracts (2 page maximum) are sought for all sessions at the 13th Asia Pacific Microscopy Congress taking place in Brisbane, Australia at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCCE) from 2 - 7 February 2025. When uploading your paper abstract, please ensure your file name is as follows: FirstnameLastnameAPMC2025 (DO NOT use any special characters as this will cause an error in the file upload).

To assist the program committee in assigning your abstract to the correct session you will be asked to select a primary key word to categorise your submission. The choice of categories is tabulated below.

This SEM image was taken using a Phenom XL SEM at 10 kV with the backscattered electron detector. The image was taken by Chao Shen from the Microscopy Unit at Macquarie University (and turned into Christmas baubles by Jeremy Shaw). Field of view around 54 um. The sample is polystyrene microspheres provided by Kunjie Ding (Macquarie University).

BEFORE YOU START

Ensure you use one of the following browsers: GOOGLE CHROME, MICROSOFT EDGE or FIREFOX (MOZILLA)

• Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still have issues, please contact the secretariat.

• Mozilla Users: the security policy in Mozilla often prevents pasting from your clipboard without using the menu commands. You can still cut and paste your abstract into the submission, but you may have to use the menu command rather than ‘control v’ shortcut.

  * Ensure your submission is only 2 pages in length. This does NOT include your title, authoring or cited references.

  * Have your abstract open on your own computer to enable you to cut and paste elements of it into the submission system.
