Electron microscopy; proceedings of the Stockholm Conference, September, 1956 . *'^^A/ M1C\-^"'" During four busy days, from the 17th to the 20th of September 1956, a conference on electron mi- croscopy was held at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The conference was organized in about seven months by the Scandinavian Electron Mi- croscope Society at the request of the International Federation of Electron Microscope Societies. It represented the first European regional conference arranged under the auspices of this federation. The organizing committee consisted of the Com- mittee of the Scandinavian Electron Microscope Society with the addition of a few other members of that society. Financial support for the conference has been granted by the Swedish Government through the Minister of Education, Mr. I. Persson, and through the State Research Councils on Agriculture, Natural Sciences, and Technology. The members of the organizing committee express their appreciation for this important support. When the conference was opened by the Rector of the Karolinska Institute, Professor S. Friberg, it proved to have attracted 370 participants from 27 countries (see the list overleaf). The number of participants and of papers by far exceeded what had seemed reasonable to expect for a regional conference. In fact, with 176 papers read, this conference represented the largest meeting of electron microscopists ever held. It proved to be a difficult problem to squeeze this program into the time limits. An unavoidable consequence was to run mostly two and, temporarily, three parallel sessions. An extensive and representative exhibition of electron micrographs and of electron microscopes and accessories had been arranged. The participants had the opportunity of seeing the following types of electron microscopes in performance: Akashi Troncoscope, Philips EM 100 B and EM 75 B, RCA EMU 2 and EMU 3c, Siemens Elmiskop I, and the prototype of the new Zeiss electrostatic m
