Microscopy Australia

**Microscopy Australia** **Targeted research and the right technology lead to great discoveries.** **Mission: to empower Australian science and innovation by making advanced microscopes accessible to all researchers.** We are a consortium of university-based microscopy facilities united by values of collaboration, accessibility, excellence and innovation. Each year, over 3,500 researchers from universities and industry use our instruments and expertise in facilities around Australia. Over 150,000 trainee microscopists around the world use our online training tools. Microscopy Australia (ROR ID: [https://ror.org/042mm0k03](https://ror.org/042mm0k03)) is funded by federal (NCRIS) and state governments and participating institutions. We report high-impact science outcomes from this investment in our annual Research Highlights and online news. We also engage the public in science with unique exhibitions and learning resources. Microscopy Australia enables access to an array of high-end microscopy platforms and associated scientific expertise in strategic locations to efficiently service Australia’s microscopy needs. Microscopy Australia also has formal connections with a range of other specialised linked laboratories. **Vision: to provide world-leading microscopes and expertise that keep Australia at the forefront of global research.** Microscopy Australia (formerly known as the AMMRF) has been empowering research excellence for over a decade. A recent renewal of our government funding ensures that our strategic vision and collaboration continues to drive Australian research and deliver industry solutions for many years to come.
