Abstract
THE development of the electron microscope as a routine tool in research has gone forward very rapidly in recent years. By 1939 the main features of its design had been settled and the magnetic type had become commercially available. By the end of the War a great variety of specimens had been examined in it, and preparative techniques adapted to different materials were being worked out. The initial phase of exploring the range of its applications was over, and in the succeeding three years the electron microscope has begun to take its place as a regular adjunct to the established optical methods of microscopy. Solid contributions to knowledge have been made which would have been impossible but for the help of the new instrument.
