Current membership statistics

The Society has for the year 2003, approximately 215 members. This includes students, normal, honorary and trade members.

As microscopy in our neighbouring countries has become a bit to expensive to afford, we don't have very many other African members. However we have a few from Botswana, where the university has just set up a new EM unit in 2001.

The list supplied only shows phone numbers as we don't want to have this list used for spam. Sorry about that but any prevention of spam is essential these days.

Membership enquiries

Any enquiries on membership should be addressed to Mr Alan Hall or Prof. John Soley who also maintain the list.
