The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit.The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens.Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.

《顯微鏡雜志》是最古老的專攻顯微鏡科學的雜志，也是英國皇家顯微鏡學會唯一的同行評審出版物。它發表論文，報告最新的發展，如顯微鏡技術的進步或新的應用領域。盡管提交的論文可能具有很高的科學價值，但該期刊并不打算出版顯微鏡或標本制備的常規應用。該范圍涵蓋物理和生物科學的研究，并涵蓋使用光、電子、X射線和其他輻射以及原子力和近場技術的成像方法。歡迎跨學科研究。有關顯微鏡的論文也受到光學理論、光譜學、新型標本制備和操作方法、圖像記錄、處理和分析（包括活標本的動態分析）的歡迎。出版物類型包括全文、熱門話題、快速跟蹤通信和評論文章。考慮提交評論文章的作者應首先聯系編輯部。
