infocus Magazine is the Royal Microscopical Society’s Magazine for Members. It provides a common forum for scientists and technologists from all disciplines which use any form of microscope, including all branches of microscopy and microbeam analysis. infocus features articles on microscopy related topics, techniques and developments, reports on RMS events, book reviews, news and much more.
Published four times a year, infocus is free to members of the RMS.
Journal of Microscopy
The Journal of Microscopy provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for publication, discussion and education for scientists and technologists who use any form of microscopy or image analysis. This includes technology and applications in physics, chemistry, material and biological sciences. The Journal publishes review articles, original research papers, short communications, and letters to the Editor, covering all aspects of microscopy.[3]
The Journal of Microscopy is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Royal Microscopical Society.
History & Information
Founded as 'The Microscopical Society of London' in September 1839 and renamed the Royal Microscopical Society in 1866, when the Society received its Royal Charter. At its Foundation in 1839, the Society ordered the best microscopes then obtainable from the three leading makers, Powell & Lealand, Ross, and Smith.[4]
The Society is incorporated by Royal Charter. Its governing documents are its Charter and By-laws.
The Royal Microscopical Society is a registered charity, number 241990.
