INTRODUCTION 



Scope This is a bibliography of the world literature on 

 electron microscopy for the use of practicing electron mi- 

 croscopists. We have attempted to include all papers that 

 report or review original research with or upon the electron 

 microscope. Electron diffraction has been excluded, except 

 for papers reporting instrumentation adapting the electron 

 microscope for these studies, and for studies employing 

 parallel diffraction and microscopic examination of specimens. 

 Papers describing other types of microscopy not functioning 

 with visible or ultra-violet light have been included. 



This volume cumulates all references to papers pub- 

 lished during the period 1956 through 1961 that have been 

 issued on edge-notched cards. In addition, references to 

 papers published from 1950 onward that had not been reported 

 by us previously have been included. 



Titles The titles of papers are rendered in the language of 

 publication, except when that language is in a non-Roman 

 alphabet or is a minor western European language. In these 

 instances the title has been translated into English and the 

 language of the original noted in parenthesis. The titles of 

 abstracts are followed by the designation: (Abstract). 



Journals The titles of journals have been abbreviated ac- 

 cording to the style found first in reviewing the following 

 sources in the order listed: List of Periodicals Abstracted 

 by Chemical Abstracts (Columbus, Ohio), Index Medicus (Wash- 

 ington, D. C), and World List of Scientific Periodicals 

 (London, Butterworth) . 



References A reference consists of author(s), title, and an 

 item number. The item number uniquely identifies a reference 

 in relation to every other reference in the volume, and is 

 the means of identifying the reference in the Coauthor and 

 Subject Indexes. In addition, when the reference is to a book, 

 the place of publication, name of publisher, and year of pub- 

 lication are supplied. When the reference is to a paper in 

 a journal, the abbreviated title of the journal is followed by 

 the volume number, inclusive paging, and month and year of 

 publication: 36:813-5. 9/53. An asterisk (*) preceding a 

 reference indicates that it was not possible to verify the 

 details of the reference, which has been included in the 

 belief that it is essentially correct.
