The Microscopy Society of Malaysia (MSM), or Persatuan Mikroskopi Malaysia, was formally established on 23 April 1991 under its original name, Persatuan Mikroskopi Elektron Malaysia. As microscopy and microanalysis technologies advanced and diversified, the society broadened its mandate. In 2010, it adopted its current name to reflect a more inclusive scope that encompasses the full spectrum of modern microscopy. Today, MSM is recognized nationally and internationally as a leading organization representing Malaysia’s microscopy community and promoting excellence in microscopy and microanalytical sciences. Guided by its commitment to fostering critical, independent, and innovative scholarship, MSM spearheads several flagship initiatives. Among these are the biennial Scientific Conference of the Microscopy Society of Malaysia (SCMSM) and the publication of the Malaysian Journal of Microscopy (MJM)—both serving as key platforms for scientific exchange, capacity building, and dissemination of high‑quality research. Beyond its conferences and publications, MSM actively collaborates with universities, research institutes, and professional networks to organize workshops, training programs, and outreach activities. The society remains dedicated to cultivating an inclusive, vibrant, and forward‑looking community where members can share expertise, build meaningful collaborations, and advance the frontiers of microscopy across diverse scientific disciplines in Malaysia.
Our members come from different institutions and countries around the world.
Our annual event provides an opportunity to gather and share new findings in microscopy.
We have published 20 volumes of the journal since 2005.
Our membership grows every year. Join us today!
