About

Great Lakes Microscopy Society (GLMS), formerly the Michigan Microscopy and Microanalysis Society (MMMS), is a non-profit organization to advancing microscopy and microanalysis through education, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. Established in 2012 as a local affiliate of Microscopy Society of America (MSA) and Microanalysis Society (MAS), GLMS serves professionals and researchers primarily in Michigan and northwest Ohio region, including the Toledo metropolitan area. In 2025, the Society adopted its current name, GLMS, to better reflect its broader regional presence across the Great Lakes area.
