Second Beijing Conference and Exhibition on Instrumental Analysis Conference, October 20-23, 1987; exhibi- tion October 19-25 1987, Beijing, China The aim of the conference is to promote academic exchanges on instrumental analysis and friendly relationship among scientists of various countries, and to create favourable conditions for further international co-operation. Symposia on Electron Microscopy, Mass Spec- trometry, Spectroscopy , Chromato- graphy, Radio and Microwave Spectro- scopy will be held separately. During the conference a commercial exhibition on Analytical Instruments will be held. Companies from various coun- tries will exhibit their latest products.
