About SEMT

The SEMT was founded in 1970 as a forum for the exchange of ideas on techniques and applications in microscopy. It has expanded to become one of the foremost user groups in the country, addressing all aspects of microscopy from instrument design and specimen preparation to digital image acquisition.

We hold an annual meeting with invited speakers and trade stands, facilitating contact, consultation and discussion between all our members, who include instrument manufacturers and microscope users.

Membership

Membership is unrestricted and although mainly London based we have many members from further afield. Membership has benefits for anyone interested in microscopy:

  • Newcomers to microscopy
    SEMT facilitates contact with supportive and encouraging members, as well as providing practical assistance.
  • Experienced microscopists
    SEMT promotes co-operation and exchange of ideas as well as the opportunity to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in techniques and equipment.
  • Commercial colleagues
    ​SEMT provides an excellent opportunity to advertise to a keenly interested audience and to obtain customer reaction directly.
