Various types of microscopy and associated microanalytical
techniques are important for understanding the origins,
fate, and physicochemical behavior of individual aerosol
particles. The microscopic approach to aerosol studies often
provides insights into aerosol properties that bulk analysis
techniques cannot provide. This symposium considers the
microscopic view of aerosols at all informational levels,
for example, from particle population statistics based on
computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy to singleparticle
heterogeneity based on hyperspectral imaging with
transmission electron microscopy. All types of microscopy
and associated microanalytical techniques are included
in this symposium such as super-resolution, scanning
x-ray, electron, focused ion-beam, and scanning probe
microscopies. Applications focus on, but are not limited to,
studies of atmospheric particles, engineered nanoparticles,
and aerosols used in drug delivery. Atmospheric particle
studies include the impact of natural and anthropogenic
aerosols on climate and air quality, atmospheric aging of
aerosols, and aerosol-cloud interactions.

As the importance of aerosol physics occurring on
nanoscale dimensions grows, new sources and
technologies appropriate for nanoscale aerosol scattering
and imaging studies have recently emerged. These include
table-top light sources, synchrotrons and ultrafast free
electron lasers in the x-ray and VUV wavelength ranges
(0.15 to 200nm). The ground breaking capabilities of
these sources are leading to new insight into the structure
and dynamic behavior of aerosols. The purpose of this
symposium is to bring together scientists who are either
