Custom Medical Stock Photo, Inc. (website:CMSP.com) (abbreviated CMSP) Hon certified, Medical Stock Photo agency founded in 1986 by Mike Fisher and Henry Schleichkorn. CMSP licenses photographs, illustrations and video to advertising agencies, pharmaceutical companies, designers, journal publishers, consumer magazine publishers, textbook publishers and major motion picture studios. CMSP archives comprise a unique archive of images typically not found within the holdings of existing stock photo agencies which is comprised of legacy companies as well as the new microsite picture agencies. While some stock photo agencies have sections called medical they typically lack the in depth coverage of medical subjects as well as a general lack of medical information typically needed by publishers and advertisers.

CMSP images are captioned and have written descriptions in a database that can be searched by keyword. Rare images as well as images that would be used commonly by clients to illustrate simple health points are included in CMSP's databse. An example of a rare image and a complete story would be bacterium in culture, the same bacteria by electron microscopy, by photomicroscopy, the resulting disease state clinical image, close-ups and the pharmaceuticals used to treat or cure the affliction, if it exists. Other types of rare images include electron microscopy of various tissue, cell lines and genetics, clincal images (skin diseases and rashes), x-rays, dissections, autopsies, forensics, surgicals, historical medicine imagery, dentistry and pediatric dentistry. Biology, simple healthcare illustrations, seniors, children, general healthcare and prescription drugs are some of the more common subject areas.
