The San Francisco Microscopical Society is a community of amateur and professional microscopists. Our mission is to be a focal point for all microscopists across all disciplines of both science and the arts. We welcome all people of any age or background – from those who have not used a microscope to those who have been working with them for decades. Our in-person activities and resources are primarily focused in the San Francisco Bay Area, but we welcome members from any location and offer virtual opportunities to connect. If you are a currently enrolled student, register on this page to receive a free year of SFMS membership.
