The first issue of Optical Nanoscopy has been published in December 2012. It is an open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen and it covers papers dealing with “principles, development, and applications of optical imaging with spatial resolution substantially better than half the wavelength of light.” (more about the journal’s scope at http://www.optnano.com/)

The Max Planck Society has a central agreement with Springer. Therefore, all articles  from MPS authors (corresponding author) accepted by SpringerOpen journals are centrally paid by the Max Planck Society.
