The object of this paper is to review the application of microscopy to the study of textile fibres. A brief exposition is given of the best methods of mounting anti examining various fibres, and the application of the techniques of polarised light, staining, and microtomy is discussed. Recent advances in the histology of protein fibres due to both visual and electron microscopy are described, and the more useful microscopie tests for protein fibre damage are covered. The structure of the natural cellulosic fibres cotton and linen is discussed, and the microscopical detection of chemical modifications to cellulose is described. An outline is given of some steining experiments which have a bearing on the structure of regenerated cellulosic fibres.
