RMS draws members from all over the world and is dedicated to advancing science, developing careers and supporting wider understanding of science and microscopy through its Science and Society activities. In support of these aims, the RMS publishes the Journal of Microscopy and microscopy handbooks, as well as helping young scientists through bursaries.

In addition to this, the RMS is pursuing an initiative to encourage young microscope users who may go on to influence microscopy in the future.
