If, ten years ago, one had been asked to comment on the prospects
of peering into the fmest details of biomolecular organization,
most electron microscopists would, I suppose at least, have been
quite en thusiastic. When, during the early seventies, several
groups were success ful in visualizing single heavy atoms, which
undoubtedly was a techni cal triumph, this prompted the most
sanguine expectations among bi ologists. In the following years,
however, it began to transpire that radiation damage might impose
limitations preventing us from taking full advantage of these
exciting instrumental feasibilities. Fortunately, the radiation
damage nightmare did no paralyze further activities, and it was in
particular the work on the purple membrane which, brilliant ly
exploiting the redundancy stratagem, revealed exhilarating new
perspectives. Now, almost five years later, it seemed timely and
appro priate to organize an international symposium to discuss and
weight recent activities and current trends in "molecular
microscopy." In planning this symposium, we selected topics
according to our view of what is important or will deserve more
attention in the near future. Taking into consideration suggestions
made by the invited participants, some supplementary aspects were
included; as a conse quence, the program developed somewhat beyond
the scope as adum brated by the original title of this meeting
(Regular 2-D Arrays of Biomacromolecules: Structure Determination
and Assembly). As the meeting was organized, we had three morning
sessions aimed at reflecting the "State ofthe Art.""
