The New York Microscopical Society has been in existence since 1877. In that time it has evolved into a club for all of those interested in microscopy- be they forensic scientists, geologists, hobbyists, educators, and professional microscope builders. Our membership includes people who have worked with microscopes for decades and those new to the field. Our common purpose is the promotion of all theoretical and practical phases of microscopy, for professional reasons and for pleasure.
Our regular schedule of activities paused because of Covid, but we’re gearing up again with plans for courses, social gatherings, awards and fun. Our headquarters in Clifton, New Jersey (reachable by NJ Transit trains) will soon be open for meetings and individual work. We have a large collection of microscopes and supplies which will be open to members at regular intervals. At the moment we regularly run events, sometimes with the NYC Urban Rangers, and we have attracted the interest of many individuals- adults, children, and even park rangers.
