title: Advantages of megavolt electron microscopy in biological research.
abstract: New electron microscopes, operating within the megavolt range have opened important prospects for scientific research. These microscopes were, at first, mainly used by physicists and metallurgists; but nowadays more and more biologists are interested in high voltage electron microscopy: they have obtained important and significant results. The present paper gives more information concerning experiments that have been achieved in Toulouse with our two big instruments working at 1 million volts (1 MV) and three million volts (3 MV).
