Summary The diffraction of electrons, based on the theories of undulatory mechanics (Louis de Broglie), has grown now to a method of investigation into the structure of matter, complementing the analysis by X-rays and electronic microscopy. Its use is developing every day in the most heterogeneous fields: study of crystalline structures, of metallic layers, of oxidation, corrosion, adsorption, catalysis, of polishing and of the conditions of superficies, as also of lubrication and of isolated molecules, etc. The article gives some instances of the diverse applications.
