Society of America (OSA) was organized to increase and diffuse the
knowledge of optics, pure and applied; to promote the common interests
of investigators of optical problems, of designers and of users of
optical apparatus of all kinds; and to encourage cooperation among them.
The purposes of the Society are scientific, technical and educational.
2. The international
society for
optical engineering (SPIE): a non-profit professional society
dedicated to advancing research, engineering, and applications in
optics, photonics, imaging, and electronics. IBOS - International
Biomedical Optics Society is a technical group within SPIE.
3. Biomedical engineering
society
(BMES): In response to a manifest need to provide a society that
gave equal status to representatives of both biomedical and engineering
interests, the Biomedical Engineering Society was incorporated in
Illinois on February 1, 1968. As stated in the Articles of
Incorporation, the purpose of the Society is: "To promote the increase
of biomedical engineering knowledge and its utilization."
4. Engineering in
medicine and biology
society of the IEEE (EMBS): The field of interest of the Society
is the application of the concepts and methods of the physical and
engineering sciences in biology and medicine. This covers a very broad
spectrum ranging from formalized mathematical theory through
experimental science and technological development to practical clinical
applications. It includes support of scientific, technological, and
educational activities.
