The Argentina Association of Microscopy (Asociación Argentina de Microscopía – SAMIC), established as non-profit organization in 1995 has been organizing a periodic meetings every two years, approximately, since 2009.
This time, the SAMIC meeting was organized in Tucumán, and counted with the participation of numerous national and international colleagues.

We would congratulate and thank Dr. Virginia Albarracín and her wonderful team for organizing such a wonderful meeting, under exceptionally difficult circumstances. Many thanks to the sponsors too.
In addition to the top scientific talks, a highlight of the meeting was the panel about Women in Microscopy with Claire Brown (Canada), Eugenia Tomasini (Argentina) and Judi Lisoni (Chile).
