X‐Ray microanalyses were made by scanning electron microprobe on thin sections of seeds of Crambe abyssinica. Linear scan profile and multilinear scan image of X‐ray emissions for magnesium, calcium and sulphur were compared. It was also possible to detect these elements in point analyses in the globoid region in the protein bodies of the seed. Microanalyses were also made with the EDAX system and with EMMA analytical electron microscope.
