Focused Interest Groups (FIG)
MSA FIGs are groups of MSA members who have organized, with the approval of MSA Council, to promote a specific discipline relevant to microscopy or microanalysis. Each FIG must have a minimum of 10 members to remain active. All MSA members are eligible and encouraged to participate in the existing FIGs. There is an annual fee of $15 per each FIG joined.
Any group of MSA members who wishes to organize a new Focused Interest Group may contact the FIG Chair for more information.
The Official MSA Guidelines for all FIG's.
