Electron Microscopy Section

The Electron Microscopy Section of the Royal Microscopical Society serves to foster interest in all types of electron microscopy and analysis in academia and industry in the UK and beyond.

Electron microscopy rapidly developed from a novelty to a highly fashionable discipline before maturing to its current role in providing essential insights into the fundamental structure of all materials, both inorganic and biological.

Electron microscopy in physical and biological science applications are the topics of various meetings and courses. These cater for all levels of user, from the beginner through to the expert, and often consider emergent techniques and novel instrumentation. Current techniques in SEM, TEM, STEM and EFTEM for imaging and diffraction are among the interests of group members, plus elemental analysis and cryotechniques.

Committee members represent a cross-section of electron microscopists and attempt to represent the user interest of the wider EM community. Any Society member may be nominated to serve as an ordinary committee member when vacancies arise.
