Abstract
ONE of the many valuable features of the Institute of Physics Convetion held in Buxton during May 19–21 was the joint meeting of the X-ray Analysis and Election Microscopy Groups of the Institute for the purpose of exploring the physical approch to the study of biological systems. The discussion was opened by Prof. J. T. Randall (college London), who was followed by Dr. I. M. Dawson (National Institute for Medical Research, tipstead), Dr. R. Reed (University of Leeds), Dr. M. Perutz (University of Cambridge) and Mrs. D. M. Hodgkin (University Museum, Oxford).
