Abstract
A COMMON preparatory method used in the investigation of thin films is evaporation of a metal on to a non-metallic substrate. The actual formation of the film on the substrate is an intriguing process, for a collection of independently nucleated islands must grow together to form a continuous, two-dimensional body. This process has been examined with an electron microscope by Bassett et al.1 and they have documented the case of gold on sodium chloride.
