Imaging and Other Techniques

'World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Microscopy'
http://www.ou.edu/research/electron/www-vl/
This virtual library contains an extensive set of links relating to all aspects of light microscopy, electron microscopy and other forms of microscopy. It is maintained by Gregory Strout at the University of Oklahoma.

'WWW Scanning Probe Microscopy Links'
http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/~altmann/
This virtual library contains links to scanning probe microscopy related sites, including 97 research groups (university, government and industrial), 22 companies, 15 journals and several miscellaneous related links.  It is maintained by Stephan M. Altmann at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Heidelberg, Germany.

'Electron Microscopy Yellow Pages'
http://cimewww.epfl.ch/emyp/
The Electron Microscopy Yellow Pages is a WWW resource of 292 links related to electron microscopy. It is maintained by Pierre-Henri Jouneau at the Center for Electron Microscopy EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland.

'SCANNING: The Journal of Scanning Microscopies'
http://www.scanning-fams.org
This journal focuses on scanning electron, probe, and optical microscopies. The web site includes tables of contents back to 1995, conference announcements, and a large bibliography on confocal microscopy and its applications.

'The Visualization Lab at the IBM Almaden Research Center'
http://www.almaden.ibm.com/vis/vis_lab.html
This web site describes imaging work at IBM, including an STM image gallery and movies of different experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulations.

'Digital Instruments: atomic force & scanning probe microscopes'
http://www.di.com
This is the homepage of Digital Instruments, a leading manufacturer of atomic force & scanning probe microscopes. Of special note is the extensive application notes section, and the NanoTheater, containing imaging examples.

'Nanofilm Technologie GmbH'
http://www.nanofilm.de
Nanofilm Technologie is a producer of Brewster angle microscopy and ellipsometry imaging equipment. This home page includes a photo gallery of Brewster angle images, as well as links to related sites.

Materials Aspects

'The Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC) Program'
