| Research Abstract |
High voltage electron microscopy(HVEMy) was established in Japan(1963-1965), and many epoch-making results have been obtained in natural science research. In the present project, new applications of in situ experiments have veen carried out extensively by Fujita, Imura, Watanabe and Takeuchi in various research fields, and new type of HVEMs, such as HVEM of STEM type and 5 MV EM, were reported by Ura, and Maruse. Also in the field of HV-HREMy, a number of new observations have been accumulted using 1MV EMs by Hirabayashi, Shimizu, Mihama, Yagi, Ishida, Shimizu and Uyeda. At such high accelerating voltages, electron channeling phenomenon(Fujimoto, Kamiya) becomes prominent in crystals and the phenomenon can be effectively used to get high resolution(HR) images full of physical informations. This approach to observe "real" structures by HV-HREMy is in marked contrast with the trend in foreign countries that HR observations are mainly done with less powerful IVEMs (i.e., 0.3-0.4 MV EM) be

cause of the difficulty in developing HVEMs for HR observation. This shows the high potentiality of our country in HVEMy. A new attempt to produce advanced materials by in-sity electron beam mixing in a U-HVEM (Fujita), as well as systematic studies of electron irradiation damges(Igata, Takahashi, Kitajim), is a topic in HVEMy. Remarkable progress in analytical EMy is also obtained in this project by the combination of various analytical systems such as EELS, EDX and AES with HVEMs (Ichinokawa, Kamiya, Ura, Fujita). Quantitative, 3-dimensional analysis of thick biological materials by streo-microscopy in HVEM, carried out by Hama, remains top in this research field. In the final meeting of this research project, all investigators reach the agreement that 1)individual HVEM's at least in Japan, should have their own, distinguished characters, 2)in the study at each HVEM group emphasis should be placed on such original works that cannot be done without the characteristic instrument, and 3)all the HVEM groups make united efforts to place the individual, specialized instruments at the service of a broad spectrum of researchers in this country.
