The 59th Congress of the Microscopy Society of Southern Africa, MSSA 2026, will be hosted by the University of Stellenbosch. The conference will take place at the Protea Hotel (Stellenbosch, Western Cape) from 30th November to 3 December 2026.

MSSA invites all microscopists nationally and within the Southern African region to join us is Stellenbosch to present their research, interact with peers and re-unite with friends and colleagues. MSSA is also the most important event to discuss the latest technological developments in light- and electron microscopy, as well as ancillary equipment, with our trade delegates and representatives at the Technical Forum and in the Exhibitor lounges. This conference is an excellent opportunity for lunchtime workshops and discussions with all microscopists; whether they are purchasing or sourcing information for future applications.
