The Society was founded over 130 years ago to provide for the pursuits of those interested in microscopy and natural history. Today it provides regular meetings where talks are given by amateurs or professionals and members can provide exhibits, exchange gossip, just keep in touch, use the library or buy small goods. We also produce a yearly Newsletter (Micro Miscellanea), the occasional book or booklet on hints and tips or items of local historical interest, and an Internet site.
Currently over 250 members.
