European Microscopy Society
The European Microscopy Society is an international learned society which represents the field of microscopy in Europe. It was founded in 1998 following the disbanding of the Committee of European Societies of Electron Microscopy (which was founded in 1976) as a union of national microscopical societies. The society acts as a regional committee of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy.
