The Oklahoma Microscopy Society is a local affiliate society of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA), the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS) and the Oklahoma Academy of Science (OAS). The Society was founded as the Oklahoma Society for Electron Microscopy (Ok-SEM) in September 1977, becoming the 18th local affiliated society of MSA (then EMSA) and the 11th section of OAS. There are two scheduled meetings each year: (1) a technical meeting is held every fall in conjunction with the OAS and (2) a one- or two-day workshop is held every spring. Information about these meetings is located below.
An OMS membership form is available online in DOCX format or PDF format. A free reader for PDF files is at the Adobe web site. Membership in the Oklahoma Microscopy Society is available to anyone with an interest in microscopy. Corporate membership is $50, regular professional membership is $15 and student membership is $5 annually. Membership privileges include participation in society events, two newsletters and access to mailing lists. Advertisements are accepted from Corporate Members through the Secretary-Treasurer and Newsletter Editor (see Officers) and a free link to their WWW Corporate Home Page is provided.

Kid's Night, Thursday, April 29: Before the workshop begins, we will have a Special Pre-Meeting SEM Exhibition, where we will host a Kid's Night on Thursday evening prior to the meeting, from 5:00-6:30 pm. Children will have an opportunity to operate an actual scanning electron microscope (Hitachi TM-3000) using a sample of their own choosing. Please contact Elison Blancaflor by email (eblancaflor@noble.org) to reserve a time. Spaces are limited, so as the time approaches, please respond early to avoid disappointment.
The 2012 Fall Technical Meeting will be held in conjunction with the 101st Annual Technical Meeting of the Oklahoma Academy of Science on Friday, November 9, 2012, at University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond. OMS will have a number of talks, one keynote speaker and the competition for the 2012 Timpano Award for the best student presentation.
A listserv list is now available for all of the members at: OMS-L@lists.ou.edu, to the OMS Executive Board at: OMS-EXEC@lists.ou.edu, and to all of the OMS Corporate members at: OMS-CORP@lists.ou.edu.
