Abstract
THE National Research Council of Canada announces the installation of the latest type of electron microscope in its Ottawa laboratories. This instrument and one developed in the Physics Department of the University of Toronto are the first electron microscopes to be used in Canada. A third microscope will be installed shortly at McGill University in Montreal. Plans to purchase this modern research instrument were made a year ago when the Council sent two physicists to the United States to study the available types. After the new R.C.A. Universal model was selected, priority application was made to the United States War Production Board, which scheduled delivery for January 1945. The Division of Physics and Electrical Engineering has provided laboratory space for the microscope and assigned a physicist in the Radiology Section to take charge of it. It is hoped to make this new electron microscope as widely available in Canada as possible to all Government laboratories and to those industries having suitable problems.
