Microscopy Society of America

MSA SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP

MSA is a vibrant society which encompasses all facets of Microscopy and Microanalysis. The society and it's members are dedicated to the promotion and advancement of the knowledge of the science and practice of all microscopical imaging, analysis and diffraction techniques useful for elucidating the ultrastructure and function of materials in diverse areas of biological, materials, medical and physical sciences. To this end MSA is a resource which is second to none throughout the world.

Sustaining membership in the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) is the way in which members of the Microscopy community, especially those commercial concerns interested in its promotion and growth, provide special support. In addition to the broad benefit of promoting the professional organization in the microscopic imaging and analytical sciences, Sustaining Members are recognized prominently in all MSA publications including the Journal Of Microscopy and Microanalysis, the Annual Meeting Proceedings, the MSA Directory, the annual Meeting Program, and the Microscopy and Microanalysis Exhibit Supplement. Sustaining Members are also consulted regularly for advice on relevant aspects of the Society's operations
