Abstract
SEVERAL observers have recently reported discrepancies in the lattice spacings calculated from the ring or spot patterns given by electron diffraction. When the thin film traversed by electrons (30 k.v.) contains two crystalline substances, the ratios of the spacings are not always in accord with those given by X-ray diffraction. The variations are of the order of 1 per cent, and are far greater than can be accounted for by experimental error.
