Abstract
The early years of electron microscopy in the Cavendish Laboratory following Ellis Cosslett's move to Cambridge in the late 1940s are described. Two transmission electron microscopes in the form of an RCA EMB and Siemens instrument were installed in the Old Cavendish building between 1942 and 1946. These electron microscopes formed the basis for Cosslett's laboratory, which developed from modest beginnings to become one of the leading centres for electron microscopy, electron physics, theoretical studies and microanalysis. Some early applications of the EM are summarised, together with two important contributions made to metal physics and biology.
