FOREWORD
The period between 1950 and 1980 were the golden years of transmission electron microscopy and produced a plethora of new information on the structure of cells that was coupled to and followed by biochemical and functional studies. TEM was king and each micrograph of a new object produced new information that led to novel insights on cell and tissue organization and their functions. The quality of data represented by the images of cell and tissues had been perfected to a very high level by the great microscopists of that era including Palade, Porter, Fawcett, Sjostrand, Rhodin and many others. At present, the images that we see in leading journals for the most part do not reach the same technical level and are not prepared with the same attention to detail as in the golden era of TEM nor do they have the same information content and sheer artistic beauty.
