Three copies of infocus magazine fanned out on a white background

Dr Leandro Lemgruber Soares, Imaging Technologist at the Institute's Glasgow Imaging Facility, has been appointed Deputy Scientific Editor of the Royal Microscopical Society's infocus Magazine.

Founded in London in 1839, The Royal Microscopical Society (RSM) has been at the forefront of microscopy and imaging for almost 200 years.

Since its inception, the society has grown into a truly international microscopical community with distinguished members across the globe working together to make advances and developments in microscopy, cytometry and image analysis.

infocus is a Royal Microscopical Society magazine, which is exclusively for members and provides a common forum for scientists and technologists who use any form of microscope.

Dr Lemgruber is an RMS fellow and has also been a member of the infocus board - formed by representatives of the scientific sections committees - since 2017.

On his appointment as Deputy Scientific Editor, he said: "I’m really excited by the role, and the upcoming challenge presented by helping the magazine make the leap to the digital world by adding a digital version to our print edition.

"I will also help develop and plan the magazine, reading and reviewing a wide range of microscopy articles, and sourcing new ones that would be of interest to the over 1,500 society members."
