The Society was founded over 120 years ago to
provide for the pursuits of those interested in
microscopy and natural history. Today it provides
regular meetings where talks are given by
amateurs or professionals and members can provide
exhibits, exchange gossip, just keep in touch,
use the library or buy small goods. We also
produce a yearly Newsletter (Micro Miscellanea),
the occasional book or booklet on hints and tips
or items of local historical interest, and an
Internet site. Currently over 250 members.
