The electron microscopy of wood started around 1951 in a few laboratories. Special preparation methods had to be developed for viewing the cell wall structures. The treatise describes the results obtained during the first five years with emphasis on the structure of bordered pits, the tertiary wall layer, the warty structure and fungal effects on the cell wall.
