The Society is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion and advancement of the knowledge of the science and practice of all microscopical imaging, analysis and diffraction techniques useful for elucidating the ultrastructure and function of matter in diverse areas of biological, materials, medical and physical sciences.

According to our Constitution, the objects of our Society are:

to promote within Australia and Internationally all forms of microscopy and microanalysis, including, but not limited to, electron microscopy, light microscopy, scanning probe microscopy and electron beam microanalytical techniques.
to co-operate and form affiliations with other organisations having similar objects both within and outside Australia.
to encourage specialist sub-groups in different areas of microscopy & microanalysis.

The Society's major activities are the convening of multidisciplinary conferences and workshops, the publishing of a quarterly newsletter and the co-ordination of activities with similar groups within Australia and overseas.
