Abstract
Light microscopy facilities vary in the number of imaging systems and the scope of technologies they support. Each facility must craft an identity through the selection of equipment and development of staff in order to serve the needs of its local research environment. The process of crafting a light microscopy facility can be compared to curation of an art exhibition: great care should be given to the selection and placement of each object in order to make a coherent statement.
Lay Description: Light microscopy facilities vary in the number of imaging systems and the scope of technologies they support. Each facility must develop an identity through the selection of equipment and development of staff in order to serve the needs of its local research environment. The process of crafting a light microscopy facility can be compared to curation of an art exhibition: great care should be given to the selection and placement of each object in order to make a coherent statement.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit.
The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens.
Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
