The Microscopy Society of America (MSA) was founded in 1942 as The Electron Microscope Society of America and is a non-profit organization that provides microanalytical facilities for studies within the sciences. Currently, there are approximately 3000 members. The society holds an annual meeting, which is usually held in the beginning of August. It has 30 local affiliates across the
The Microscopy Listserver is a network based discussion forum giving members of the scientific community a centralized Internet address to which questions/comments/answers in the various fields of Microscopy or Microanalysis can be rapidly distributed to a list of (subscribed) individuals by electronic mail. There are in excess of 3000 subscribers to the Microscopy Listserver from over 40 countries on 6 continents, who participate in this system on a daily basis. Messages are posted and circulated daily on a variety of topics. The Listserver was founded by Nestor J. Zaluzec who continues to host and operate the service for the scientific community, the Listserver is co-sponsored in part by the ''Microscopy Society of America''.
This Listserver has been in operation since 1993 and maintains a searchable archive of all posted Email questions, comments, and responses. Every two months, selected contributions on the Microscopy Listserver are published in the archives of Microscopy-Today Microscopy-Today, publisher: Cambridge University Press
For the purposes of this forum, Microscopy or Microanalysis is considered to include all techniques which employ a probe such as: photons (including x-rays), electrons, ions, mechanical and/or electromagnetic radiation to form a representation or characterization of the microstructure (internal or external) of any material in either physical and/or life sciences applications.
Some of the more common techniques which are associated with this field include the following:
* optical microscopy
* x-ray microscopy
* scanning electron microscopy

Some of the more common techniques which are associated with this field include the following:
* optical microscopy
* x-ray microscopy
* scanning electron microscopy
* transmission electron microscopy
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than 100 nm thick or a suspension on a g ...
* atomic force microscopy
* scanning tunneling microscopy
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a type of microscope used for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. Its development in 1981 earned its inventors, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, then at IBM Zürich, the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. ...
* scanning ion microscopy
* analytical electron microscopy
* high resolution electron microscopy*
* intermediate/high voltage electron microscopy
* electron microprobe analyzers
* x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy
* electron energy loss spectroscopy
In electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) a material is exposed to a beam of electrons with a known, narrow range of kinetic energies. Some of the electrons will undergo inelastic scattering, which means that they lose energy and have their pa ...
