The Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) is an international scientific society for the promotion of microscopy. 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. The RMS also serves the needs of its company members who represent the major manufacturers and suppliers of microscopes, equipment and services. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or society:
“The captain sat in a commodore’s hat
And dined in a royal way
On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
And gummery bread each day.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, “But things are far better than they used to be.” I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that “used to be.” Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
