IAMA is an acronym for the International Association for Microanalysis and was formed October of 1999. The organization is non-profit and was created to provide forensic scientist with an informative resource relating to the detection of primer gunshot residue (P-GSR) by SEM/EDX. Currently, IAMA is internationally recognized with over 150 members. Although, IAMA was originally created to address a the specific topic of P-GSR detection and analysis, eventually it is anticipated to grow into a journal comprising all aspects of forensic scanning electron microscopy.
