The invention of the microscope has opened up a whole new dimension in science. By using microscopes scientists were able to discover the existence of unique underneath of materials. Since their original invention, microscopes have moved beyond the simple visible light refracting lenses. Today in this ever challenging world, the application of electrons, x-rays, and infrared rays are used by far more sophisticated microscopes to detect even smaller and smaller structures. Their ability to diagnose the meticulous behaviours within the materials has significantly increased in order to stay competitive and serve essentially as a high technology medium in analysis aspects especially in sustainable manufacturing. Innovation and creativity are two critical elements that give manufactures the leading edge. Sustainability, an emerging concern among manufacturers, recognizes the interdependency between the economy, social and the environment. These require adapted from needs of initial information on intrinsic within the materials through microscopy technology.

SCMSM is a reference conference on associated with microscopy and microanalysis used in biology, biotechnology, medicine, materials science, electronics, various fields of engineering and chemistry. It is the place where the latest results in the various science and engineering areas are presented and discussed. SCMSM series of conferences is organized every year by the Microscopy Society Malaysia. This year, SCMSM 24 organization is taken over by the Faculty of Manufacturing, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. It is hopeful that this conference will serve as a good foundation and a starting point for exchange of ideas, knowledge and information between the researchers and professionals from academia, industries, government agencies and equipment manufacturer on issues pertaining to materials development and its effect on current demand for global manufacturing sustainable and innovative life sciences.
