Experience heating/cooling stages for microscopes of Linkam
endorsed by superb global track record.
■Samples can be easily heated up/cooled down between -190C—600 C.
Heating/cooling rate can be flexibly controlled between 0.01—150C/min.
■One same stage can be used without any modification for an optical microscope, a stereotype microscope,
an infrared microscope, a Raman microscope, laboratory SAXS and a synchrotron radiation facility.
■Just one heating/cooling stage can manage thermal control from nano/ micro level to macro level.
■A Linkam stage enables researchers to work on temperature, tensile and shearing. So, it is a must item
for polymer research.

Foreword

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to welcome all participants of
Optics of Liquid Crystals 2021 (OLC 2021) at Bankoku Shinryokan Conference Hall at
Okinawa, Japan. In Okinawa, even in late September, the summer sun shines, and you
can enjoy the pleasant sea breeze and the bright red hibiscus flowers. I hope that all
the participants will enjoy the nature and culture of main island of Okinawa and latest
topics in the science of optics of liquid crystals.

Poster Award
OLC2021 “Shimakutuba” Poster Award
The OLC2021 will offer “Shimakutuba Poster Awards” to outstanding poster
presentations by young researchers (postdocs) and students to encourage theiracademic activities. The judges appointed by the OLC2021 Poster Awards
Committee will review and evaluate the posters according to the following criteria:-

Excellence and/or originality of the research-

Clarity in presentation including the poster layout-

Scientific knowledge in a discussion at the poster session

The OLC2021 Poster Awards Committee will decide the awardees on the basis of
the results of the judges’ votes. The evaluation will be done by members of thecommittee during the poster session. It will be “blind” evaluation, with which thepresenters cannot distinguish referees. The winners will be announced at theclosing session.
