TL;DR

Th thin sections of caterpillars infected with polyhedral diseases are examined with the electron microscope to follow the development of the disease, to see the crystal-like polyhedra as they are formed in situ and to observe the fine structure of their contents.

Abstract

FOR some time we have been examining with the electron microscope thin sections of caterpillars infected with their polyhedral diseases. In this way it is possible to follow the development of the disease, to see the crystal-like polyhedra as they are formed in situ and to observe the fine structure of their contents.
