Elemental Microscopy
Scope
MSA’s new journal, Elemental Microscopy (EM) redefines scholarly communication by offering a platform where research is not just read, but experienced. Its
digital-first approach enables authors to present their findings in more engaging and insightful ways-empowering readers to interact with data, visualize complex concepts, and apply new
techniques directly from the article.
Elemental Microscopy’s mission is to transform how microscopy research is shared, accessed, and advanced-moving far beyond static PDFs to create a dynamic, interactive publishing experience, based on Curvenote, https://curvenote.com/, a web-first scientific publishing platform.
EM publishes interactive, open-access articles focusing on specific microscopy techniques, featuring highly interactive figures, embedded code, and data, supporting reproducible science and open access.
Audience
Researchers, educators, and developers interested in advanced microscopy methods and data science.
Editor-in-Chief
Colin Ophus, PhD
Dr. Ophus is an Associate Professor at Stanford University and a Center Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy. A recipient of the DOE Early Career award and the MSA Burton Medal, he
specializes in electron microscopy methods and open-source software for scientific analysis. Dr. Ophus is a strong advocate for open science and interactive scientific publishing.
