Abstract
WHEN the new methods of X-ray analysis were first introduced a quarter of a century ago, there was naturally no clear realization of the extent and character of the fields of research in which they would eventually be employed. Certain applications were found for them at once, but the years have brought wide and unexpected developments. Some of these are gathering themselves together, and, in conjunction with other methods of physics and chemistry, begin to form what might well be called a new branch of science.
