Microscopy Research and Technique publishes articles on all aspects of advanced microscopy in the biological clinical and materials sciences. Original research as well as technical papers dealing with the various subsets of microscopy are welcomed. This includes transmission electron microscopy scanning electron microscopy analytical microscopy (X-ray EELS Auger etc.) light microscopy confocal microscopy video microscopy scanning tunneling microscopy image analysis quantitative morphology and all other forms of leading edge microscopic imaging. It is expected that manuscripts submitted for consideration will clearly present the scientific question justify the type of specimen(s) used in the experiment explicitly describe the methods utilized employ proper statistics present previously unpublished data discuss whether the experiment has answered the proposed question compare the results with those of salient previous literature and be prepared in the correct journal format.
