SUMMARY High resolution electron microscopy has been used to examine both the similarities and differences in the growth morphologies of Fe 2 O 3 , Cr 2 O 3 as formed on iron alloys, and MgO as formed by burning Mg in moist air. A general discussion is also given of the relative advantages and disadvantages of a variety of TEM techniques as applicable to the study of oxidation phenomena.
