Message from the President
I am pleased to announce that I have been appointed President of the Japanese Society of Microscopy(JSM) at the 79th General Meeting of JSM (Matsue, Japan). I would like to oﬀer my greetings on assuming
this position.

Academic Lecture Meetings and Symposiumsand, Academic
Journals in English and Japanese

We conduct an academic lecture meeting in spring and a symposium in fall every year as occasions for members to publish
research ﬁndings and mutually exchange technological information. This educational lecture was attended by approximately
1000 people, primarily consisting of members. Nearly 500
research accomplishments were presented during the three-day
session, in which participants were engaged in a series of enthusiastic discussions. The symposium provides a topical lecture on a
speciﬁc topic. At the academic lecture meetings and symposiums,
supporting members and other business associates also present
commercial exhibitions and hold workshops and seminars topresent the latest equipment and technical information.

We publish(formerly known as the Journal of Electron
Microscopy), a journal in English, and(meaning microscope in Japanese), a Japanese journal. As a world-class peer-reviewed journal in English,
provides members withinformation on latest research trends and acts as a source for themembers to present their research results.
oﬀers
research reviews and features interpretive articles on, for example,
observation and analysis techniques and provides a basic technical course on the microscopic methods.

Society Commendation

International Interaction(3) Fostering young microscopists and future researchers: the age structure of JSM members shows that increasing the number of young
members is an urgent issue. Using the power of microscopic images to appeal to researchers in diﬀerent ﬁelds, we will attempt to recruit
young scientists, targeting scientiﬁc societies with high fractions of microscopists. In addition, to broaden the career prospects of graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, we hope to activate interactions between JSM members across generations, especiallybetween researchers in companies and graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. We also consider it essential to continue anddevelop the newly initiated project to nurture 'future microscopists' from elementary to high school students.

As one of our activities, we encourage research related to themicroscopic area and commend the research results. With theestablishment of the Society Award (Seto Award), which is given
to individuals who serve as a model for members; the Paper/Japanese Journal Award, which is given to papers recognized to be
excellent from those published in academic journals in the last
two years; the Prize for Encouragement intended to encourage
young researchers, and the Distinguished Technical Service
Award, which is given to individuals who have distinguished themselves in developing applied technologies of microscopes, we
commend full members and research papers selected throughstrict examination.

It goes without saying that to implement these activities, we need to have a solid ﬁnancial foundation. Fortunately, the JSM's current
ﬁnancial situation is on the upswing, and we hope to maintain this trend and further strengthen it.

Activities of Subcommittees and Research Groups

As the international community is becoming more globalized, we
believe that it is important to promote global interaction in theﬁeld of microscopy and globalize the academic society by promoting research at higher levels. We hosted two international conferences in Kyoto (1986) and Sapporo (2006) as members of theInternational Federation of Societies for Microscopy (IFSM). In
cooperation with China, Korea, and Taiwan, we also take part in
the organization of East-Asia Microscopy Conferences (EAMC) todevelop microscopy in Asian countries. In addition, on occasions
held in Japan, we invite
many famous researchers
from foreign countries toactively promote international interaction by, forexample, holding international sessions and bilateral seminars.

Professor, Graduate School of
Medicine, The University of Tokyo
61st President of the JapaneseSociety of Microscopy

Up to now, JSM has made signiﬁcant contributions to the development of microscopy and its industrial
applications with a history of seventy years. In recent years, JSM has become a society that embraces
diverse interdisciplinary research, with the participation of researchers specializing not only in electron
microscopy but also in optical microscopy. Progress in microscopy is very rapid, and microscopists in Japanneed to revitalize their activities and disseminate high-impact research results to strengthen their international competitiveness. Over the past four years, diverse activities have been promoted by JSM under theleadership of Ex-President Prof. Ikuhara. The members of the Society have fully acknowledged these activities. In the future, while maintaining these activities, we will emphasize the following items and aim forfurther development of JSM with the cooperation of all members.

(1) Strengthening the research infrastructure of microscopy: introducing the latest research equipment and the availability of humanresources are top priorities in all scientiﬁc research. Unfortunately, in the formulation of today's research projects, the bottom-up voice
is often equivocated, and priority is sometimes given to so-called 'top-down' projects. There is a need to make strong opinions as thecoherent voice of the JSM members and to engage in productive discussions with the relevant government branches and organizations.
We aim further to strengthen the eﬀorts of JSM to promote the research infrastructure. It is also essential to establish appropriate cooperation with microscopy-related companies. JSM has played an important role as a forum for exchanging information and resources
between academia and industry. We hope to maintain such traditions and incorporate new ideas.
(2) Promotion of international competitiveness: microscopy technology has made remarkable progress, and high-resolution, high-preci-sion data acquisition combined with AI technology enables more sophisticated analysis. In this context, there is a need for JSM members
to form close networks and engage in active interaction with both domestic and foreign researchers. As the restriction on activities dueto the COVID-19 pandemic has almost been lifted, this is a unique timing to stimulate international research exchange through theinitiative of JSM members. Developing academic networks will promote domestic and international academic collaboration and enhance
our research capabilities.

These are our aspirations for the future. None of this would be possible without the cooperation of our members. We will make every
eﬀort to develop the science of microscopy and to nurture JSM further, and we would be grateful for your support and guidance.

Philosophy of the Society

History and Organization

The Japanese Society of Microscopy is an academic organizationthat aims to pursue the scientiﬁc theory of microscopy, promoteresearch and development activities related to microscopy, andutilize the activity results in all academic ﬁelds, including life
science and material science, and through the development ofthem, contribute to the development of society and culture.

1949: Established as the Japanese Society of Electron Microscopy
2003: Renamed as the Japanese Society of Microscopy
2012: Incorporated as a public service corporation

The 37th subcommittee of the Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science, which started in 1931, was the foundation of theJapanese Society of Electron Microscopy, which was later established as an independent academic society in 1949. Subsequently,
in 2003, it was renamed as the Japanese Society of Microscopy,
as an organization that also covers the ﬁeld of new microscopes,
including probe microscopes and atomic force microscopes. With
members engaged in various research areas, such as electricity,chemistry, physics, medical science, and biology, the society
consists of researchers from the private sector, including university
researchers and manufacturers. Thus, the interaction among
researchers provides occasions that allow for unique discussions
beyond academic boundaries.

● Number of members (as of April 2023): 1,477 full members, 96
student members, and 71 supporting members● Branch: Four oﬃces (Hokkaido, Kanto, Kansai, and Kyushu)● Subcommittees and research groups: 11 subcommittees andSix research groups● Standing committees: Eleven committees● Main business activities: Holding of academic lecture meetings,
symposiums, seminars on electron microscopes, and summer
school; implementation of skills certiﬁcation test; commendationof awards of the society; implementation of activities bysubcommittees and research groups; holding of lecture meetingsby the branch oﬃces; cooperation with associated academic
societies and associations

Society consists of researchers in a variety of ﬁelds ranging from
biology to materials science. Interactions among researchers in
diﬀerent ﬁelds also provide opportunities that will lead to new
discoveries and innovative inventions. We also encourage our
subcommittees and research groups to actively carry out activities
to provide occasions that allow for a deeper and/or a wider rangeof discussions. Our subcommittees work on lasting, universal, andfundamental subjects in as many as ten academic ﬁelds, including
ultra-high-resolution microscopy, scanning electron microscopy,
and analytical electron microscopy. The research groups are working on topical or ad hoc subjects, and the research results
obtained through these activities are reported at academic lecture
meetings, symposiums, and other occasions, such as meetings forpresenting research results, and are widely shared with the members, helping raise the research level.

Activities of the Branches
We encourage our four branches, namely, 1) Hokkaido, 2) Kanto,
3) Kansai, and 4) Kyushu branches, to carry out society-wide activities on a branch-by-branch basis. Through research activities that
focus on regional characteristics speciﬁc to each branch, they
provide occasions that help members solve their problems andhost lecture meetings, where they actively exchange ideas withother branch oﬃces. In recent years, in particular, by co-hosting a
symposium, with the branch oﬃce covering the region in which thesymposium is held, we provide meaningful opportunities fordiscussions while aiming to vitalize local industries and increase
the number of participants.

Encouragement of Young Researchers
Microscopy is useful not only in developing science and technology but also in many aspects of society, such as the development ofmaterials with new functions, determination of the causes of
diseases, and regenerative medicine. Inheriting microscopy torealize a better society is one of our missions. To this end, we aremaking more eﬀorts to develop young researchers who will inherit
microscopy. At academic lecture meetings and symposiums inJapan, we encourage young researchers to conduct research by,for example, exempting student members from participation feesand establishing the Excellent Poster Award for Students. By
supporting young researchers participating in international conferences, we promote their interactions with foreign researchers.
With the number of young researcher members slightly increasing,a research group of young researchers has been set up to provide
them with opportunities to exchange information and make a wide
range of discussions. The Prize for Encouragement established by
us is given to excellent research by young researchers; unique
ideas and executive power of young researchers are essential forthe future of microscopy. Thus, we will continue to actively support
their research activities.
