Welcome!

The State Microscopical Society of Illinois is a group of amateur and professional Microscopists, with diverse backgrounds and interests in many areas of science, who are bound together by an interest in microscopy. The society provides the following:

• Monthly Meetings with many excellent presentations from a wide range of subjects in such areas as natural history, medicine, meteoritics, geology, chemistry, physics, etc.
• Work Shops that have been well-received by the members
• Annual Picnic
• Banquet which is held during the Inter/Micro Symposium in Chicago
• Auction of Equipment.

We welcome anyone who is interested in joining SMSI - the only requirement is an interest in microscopy and its application to the arts and sciences.
