EXCERPT
This year, Inter/Micro will mark its 70th anniversary (June 11–15, 2018), continuing the vision of its founders, Walter C. McCrone and Charles Tufts, who developed this first of its kind “international microscopy” conference in 1948. Inter/Micro has always been a gathering of microscopists from around the world, and for the past 33 years, it has been held and hosted by McCrone Research Institute in Chicago. Prior to this, the conference alternated between Chicago and various locations in the U.K., including Brighton, Leeds, London, and Cambridge. In the past decade, we have welcomed speakers and attendees from the U.S., the Netherlands, Israel, England, Canada, Australia, Turkey, India, Germany, Taiwan, Norway, and Austria.
