Walter C. McCrone is winner of the 1981 Anachem Award sponsored by the Detroit Association of Analytical Chemists. The award is given annually in recognition of service to analytical chemistry through research administration, teaching, and other activities. McCrone did both his undergraduate and graduate work at Cornell University and in 1956 started his own research laboratory, McCrone Associates, Inc. In 1960, he founded the McCrone Research Institute, devoted to teaching and fundamental research. He served on the Advisory Board of ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY from 1975-77. He is
editor and publisher of The Microscope, the international journal of applied microscopy. McCrone's special interests have always been chemical microscopy, crystallography, and ultramicroanalysis. He and his associates have applied these techniques to everything from moon dust to DaVinci's Last Supper
