Listers,

Here is the May 2009 Microscopy Today table of contents. We will
close the subscription list for this issue on Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Sorry for the short time interval as we are trying to beat the May 11th postal rate increase.
Microscopists in North America and MSA members anywhere qualify for free
subscriptions. All subscriptions at
http://www.microscopy-today.com .

The July issue of MT will be totally reformatted with a new look and new features under Charles Lyman, the new editor. Not least of which will be an exact duplicate digital edition available nearly simultaneously. All URLs and emails in the digital edition will be live so that you may go to the desired link from within the digital edition.

Thank you,
Ron Anderson, Managing Editor
