A Personal Invitation to A Practical Workshop

We have changed the date of the BIOQUANT Bone Workshop to avoid conflicts with the Orthopaedic Research Society Meeting in San Francisco.

Join us for 2 and 1/2 days of detailed presentations on all aspects of bone histomorphometry. Attendance is limited to 25 people to ensure a comfortable environment, so register quickly.

This workshop is designed to provide specific help for all stages of the histomorphometry process. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own histology samples for discussions. A fluorescent capable microscope will be available during the workshop.
