French Society of Microscopy / Societe Francaise des Microscopies (SFµ)

The Société Française de Microscopie Electronique (SFME), created in 1959, the Société Française des Microscopies (Sfµ) was renamed to reflect the Company's openness to new microscopies.

Scientists from various disciplines, physics, biology, medicine, chemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy ... founded the SFME on the basis of the use of a common device. The Sfµ aims to be an original scientific forum bringing together very diverse skills in different areas of imaging (electron microscopy, photonics, X-rays, proximity probes, etc.), a source of fruitful discussions during meetings.
