EXCERPT
This year, 2025 marks the 65th anniversary of the McCrone Research Institute, nearly 90 years of The Microscope (now in its 88th year of production) and 77 years of the annual Inter/Micro meetings and conference. On this momentous occasion, we remember and recognize the four pillars of the organization with beginnings that extend back into the early 20th century: Microscopy Publishing since the 1930s; Applied Microscopy Research since the 1940s, Microscopy Meetings and Conferences since the 1940s; and formal Microscopy Education since the 1950s. The mission has been clear and unchanged since its official incorporation by its founders and charter members, Dr. Walter C. McCrone and Mrs. Lucy B. McCrone:
To advance the proper use of the microscope through teaching, research, and publishing, and provide the highest quality education and applied scientific research in the fields of analytical microscopy, microchemistry, and ultramicroanalysis.
