Needlelike crystals grew from a fragment of glass bombarded with intense electron beams in an electron microscope. This phenomenon was limited to glasses containing mobile atoms such as Na and Pb, to fresh surfaces, and to the part of the sample not coated with carbon film. When there was a relatively thick carbon film on the surface, prolonged electron bombardment caused the formation of bubbles within the fragments.
