The cover illustration shows Professor Shechtmans lab notebook, wherein “10 fold ???” marks his discovery of quasicrystals (plate #1725) while examining rapidly quenched Al‐Mn alloys with TEM. The left‐hand page shows his sketch of part of the 10‐fold diffraction pattern, with labels of diffraction spots used for dark field TEM plates listed on the right. In addition, plates 1937–1939 mark micro‐diffraction patterns. Both types of experiments showed the absence of twins.
