Abstract

The recent observation of Bucky-tubes by S. Iijima using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) represents the first occasion in which a useful new material, subsequently available in commercial quantities, has been discovered by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). More commonly, the HREM method has been used for microcharacterization of materials at the atomic level, and for phase identification of submicrometer-sized microphases and polytypes.
