his paper describes the electron microscope and gives details of its performance at an operating voltage of 3 MV.Some initial results are reported concerning : penetrating power; resolving power; studies of radiation damage, and other interactions between electrons and crystalline materials. Several observations are also described concerning biological materials (bacteria, frog skeletal muscle, filaments from mushroom spores . . .).Because at high voltage, radiation damage is considerably reduced, the results obtained indicate a new range of applications of high voltage electron microscopy in biological ultrastructure research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
