- Overview presentations or selected topics from PIs and their research groups (could be a group representative) giving overview of their microscopy-related research and aspirational goals. Other researchers might find areas of synergy/overlap and practical ideas, and tips. SRNML staff and can learn about the needs and directions each PI hopes to move to better plan for the future. New creative solutions and positive directions ensue.
- Innovations in methods/techniques led by students, postdoctocs, PIs, OU researchers that could benefit others by sharing.
- Focused workshops led by SRNML personnel on topics in demand: skills for sample prep., data analysis, etc.
- Introductions to particular methods or techniques.
- Discussions of papers and latest research.
- Focus groups of researchers from different units working towards similar goals/technologies/instrumentation that can lead to method and proposal development.
- Introductions from labs and facilities (other core facilities, too) around campus or in the region.
- Industry partners can share their work and collaborative interests.
- Demonstrations and presentations from vendors
- Make a suggestion!

Join OUr student microscopy club
OU student volunteers worked with SRNML personnel, Oklahoma Microscopy Society members, and other microscopy professionals to make the 2020 Oklahoma Microscopy Society Kid's night a fun night for everyone!
Our core microscopy lab is a great way to meet students from across campus that share your interests in microscopy. Unanticipated breakthroughs often occur by sharing ideas and experience across disciplines. Socialize and collaborate with SRNML team members and peers, participate in educational events, and share the excitement of science with the next generations through outreach events!
Student members are encouraged to join in the Oklahoma Microscopy Society. Member benefits include:
- Channels to provide support and promote the growth of the state’s microscopy community
- Increase expertise, skill, and general knowledge of all forms of microscopy across many fields of science
- Provides a platform for a shared exchange of ideas, interdisciplinary networking capabilities and potential collaborations with fellow scientists across a range of scientific disciplines in both academia and industry
- Stay up to date and current with existing microscopy technology and instrumentation in the state and region
- Network with microscopy professionals from industry who work with the latest
- advanced technology
- Annual meetings (with meals provided!) with nationally recognized invited speakers:
- Opportunities to showcase your own research through contributed papers and poster sessions
- Access to commercial exhibitors with the latest microscopy related equipment and supplies
- Take part in workshops designed for interacting and learning about the latest microscopy related techniques (e.g. image analysis workshop) Ideal for student poster or presentation experience in a supportive environment
- Student financial support in the form of best micrograph/presentation/poster awards with opportunities to attend and present at the national MSA meetings
- Biannual OMS newsletter to keep up to date with the latest news and advancements in microscopy related research across the state with opportunities to promote your own work for other society members’ to be aware of
- Opportunities to participate with our high-impact educational outreach efforts that bring the excitement of microscopy and science to kids across Oklahoma
- Help build Oklahoma’s microscopy community by contributing your ideas to the vision and future of the society
