Abstract
THE specimens under observation in the electron microscope are exposed simultaneously to a high vacuum and to electron bombardment. Under these conditions, the specimens may lose volatile constituents due to the combined effects of the vacuum and of the temperature rise1,2; also the crystal structure may undergo alterations as a result of exposure to the electron beam3.
