Abstract: The first published micrograph of a biological specimen photographed in a high voltage electron microscope (HVEM) appeared in a paper by Van Dorsten et al. in 1947, and it is consequently surprising that the HVEM does not play a greater role in biology 27 yr later. There are various reasons for this. The first prototypes were developed with the aim of enabling the investigator to examine thicker specimens than could be viewed at 100 kV. At the same time, however, the thin-sectioning technique was becoming established and consequently none of these early prototypes led to a commercial instrument (Glauert, 1972). Subsequently, the development of the HVEM was determined more by the needs of metallurgists and
