The Microscope Journal
A successful journal for microscopists must therefore interest and benefit a very wide spectrum of scientists. The Microscope accomplishes this by emphasizing new advances in microscope design, new accessories, and new techniques.
The Microscope is an international journal founded by Arthur Barron in 1937 and dedicated to the advancement of all forms of microscopy for the biologist, mineralogist, metallographer or chemist.
No matter what the field of research, the microscope is always a useful adjunct and often an essential tool.
A successful journal for microscopists must therefore interest and benefit a very wide spectrum of scientists. The Microscope accomplishes this by emphasizing new advances in microscope design, new accessories, new techniques, and unique applications to the study of particles, films, or surfaces of any substance.
A major source of papers for The Microscope is the INTER/ MICRO symposium held each year in Chicago. More Information about the Inter/Micro Symposium
The journal is also open to papers from other meetings or papers written expressly for publication. Also included are microscopy related book reviews.
