in and provide sponsorship for the workshop. One of the workshop aims
is to provide participants with advice on the acquisition of appropriate
equipment to meet their experimental needs. This aim will be facilitated
by a strong trade display. Sponsorship of the Workshop will be acknowledged
in the Workshop Training Manual and on the website (with a link to the
