The Engineering, Physical & Material Sciences Section is an interdisciplinary committee of the RMS which promotes the interests of the global community of scientists and engineers in different fields who apply microscopy, spectroscopy and focused beam techniques in their research or industrial tests. 

Our Mission:

The use of microscopy is now integral to many smart emerging engineering and technological advancements that already affect our daily lives, and will continue to positively impact our future, particularly as materials are already designed at the nano-levels nowadays. 

The continued expansion of smart technologies, as well as further rapid development of enabling nanotechnologies, demonstrates a real need in development of new high-end microscopy methodologies as well as redesign and adaptation of classic approaches in microscopy. 

The EPMS Section:

The use of Modern Microscopy and Micro-spectroscopy from the fundamental research and development of nano-materials, to in-situ characterisation and testing in research lab and industrial fab environment.
