Abstract
FROM the first investigations of G. P. Thomson1 dealing with the structure of surface layers up to the present time, the method of using a specimen ground flat has remained apparently without change2, though the construction of a crystal holder for this method is comparatively complicated and the results obtained in such a way cannot apparently be of high degree of accuracy. The investigation of the surface structure by reflection is, however, of great interest. We have recently succeeded in obtaining very exact results by means of a simultaneous reflection of a cathode beam from two specimens; one of them was a substance the lattice constants of which were very exactly known, such as sodium chloride.
