The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and is the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers reporting the latest developments in microscopy techniques, including advancements in microscopy technology and new areas of application. While the journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation, submissions with high scientific value will be considered. The scope encompasses research in both physical and biological sciences, covering imaging methods using light, electron, X-ray, and other radiation techniques, as well as atomic force and near-field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is also welcomed. Papers related to microscopy, particularly those involving optical theory, spectroscopy, new specimen preparation and operational methods, as well as image recording, processing, and analysis (including dynamic analysis of live specimens), are highly encouraged. Publication types include full articles, rapid communications on hot topics, and review articles. Authors considering submitting review articles should first contact the editorial office.
