Scientific and Technical Information
Company
Scientific and Technical Information, published by Leica Microsystems, was first created in 1985 by the former Ernst Leitz GmbH as a company publication for interested specialists.
While the range of topics has been maintained, the scope and level of sophistication have since changed from being a house organ primarily concerned with instrument features to a recognized professional journal of microscopical science and application of microscope systems.
The rapid development of modern communication media and their world-wide use have influenced the mode of distributing our Scientific and Technical Information: printed issues were replaced by CD-ROM editions in 1998.
Since 2001 Scientific and Technical Information is published worldwide on the internet as an option to a still available CD-ROM.
I am convinced that, due to the rapid access to the special information offered, Leica Microsystems' Scientific and Technical Information will constantly receive an enlarged level of attention by and to the benefit of the relevant experts.
