The aims
of Micron are to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for all work which
involves the design, application, practice or theory of microscopy and
microanalysis. The journal will also publish papers and reports on optical and
electron beam systems linked to computer image processing and other image
analytical methods.
The journal is published in English and embraces original research work in
biology, medicine, metallurgy, materials sciences and physical sciences. One of
the aims is to publish work within the shortest possible time while maintaining
a high standard of refereeing and presentation. Twelve free pages of colour are
available to authors of those papers in which colour is essential to convey the
full information content of the image. These pages will be decided at the
Editors' discretion.
