About Our Society

The Iowa Microscopy Society is a non-profit affiliate of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA)The goals of this organization are to bring together people interested in microscopy, and to foster the exchange of ideas and information. To support its mission, the IMS hosts an annual symposium of speakers covering a variety of microscopy-related topics.

IMS meetings are currently on hold.

The Iowa Art in Science Competition will return in the fall of 2023

 

The goal of The Iowa Art in Science Contest is to recognize the combination of outstanding scientific discovery and artistic appeal inherent to microscopy research. Corporate supporters of the IMS Symposium have generously donated prizes to be awarded to contest winners.

Images from any mode of microscopy can be used, and any form of colorization, manipulation and compositing is completely acceptable. Be creative, go nuts!

 

 

More information will be posted at the beginning of the Fall semester. In the meantime, feel free to submit digital images and a description to thomas-moninger@uiowa.edu 

 

Warm Regards,
