EXCERPT
"In August 1937, The Microscope was first published to serve as a medium for communication among microscopists. It was believed that an independent journal, with its columns available for letters, news items, and articles of general interest as well as more learned papers would be generally welcome. The support given in the initial stages was sufficient to encourage eventual monthly publication. After only two years the event of 1939-1945 made a regular monthly appearance impossible, but the journal continued to be published as paper supplies and time permitted."
"In concluding this short backward glance, we repeat that The Microscope is published as a means of communication among its readers: it exists to serve them and we make no excuse for pointing out once again that what you, the reader of these words, have to say constitutes the very life blood of the journal.” – Arthur L.E. Barron, F.R.M.S., Editor, July, 1958.
