This long review article or short monograph constitutes the whole of Volume 6 of the Springer series Crystals: growth, properties and applications, edited by H. C. Freyhardt, whose earlier volumes have contained shorter reviews mostly on the growth of semiconductor and oxide crystals. This move towards a single-authored volume which is primarily con- cerned neither with the growth, properties nor applications of crystals but rather with their examination at a very fine scale might be regarded with reservations were it not for the high level of interest and quality of Dr Wagner's article. Despite continuing advances in electron microscopy and other techniques, the field-ion microscope remains, more than thirty years after its invention by E. W. Mtiller, the only tool which can routinely show the arrangement of the individual atoms at a solid surface and, combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry in the so-called atom- probe
