This will directly influence the ongoing development of the Open Microscopy Environment software being designed in the School of Life Sciences. Even if you don't think this has anything to do with you, the very fact that you are on the LM-announce mailing list means that your opinions do matter. Better still, there are 5 ipods on offer in a prize draw that you will have the option to be entered into upon participation and the survey shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks!</DIV><DIV>Sam</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><B><I>Survey of imaging in life sciences - your say will make a difference</I></B></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Before you delete this email....</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>....we would like to invite you to take part in an online survey exploring the use of imaging in the life sciences.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>YOU ARE NOT WASTING YOUR TIME BECAUSE OF A FEW REASONS</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>There are 5 iPods to win, and you enter the drawing just by filling out the survey.
