Of current interest: Experimental advances discussed at electron microscope conference

More than 50 scientific papers on new techniques, and new advances in the electron microscope itself, were reported December 11–13, 1947, at the first international conference of the Electron Microscope Society of America which was held in Philadelphia, Pa. Leading electron microscope research specialists from England, France, Holland, India, Australia, and Canada, as well as many parts of the United States, were among the 250 scientists attending the sessions. Some of the subjects of interest to electrical engineers are reviewed briefly in the following paragraphs.
