Nordic Microscopy Society

The name SCANDEM was a truncation for the "Scandinavian Society for Electron Microscopy". This name was picked since just Denmark, Norway and Sweden (Scandinavia) were spoken to at the establishing meeting, and for a few years into the mid 1950s. Today SCANDEM incorporates all the Nordic nations (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden), and has additionally individuals from different nations.
