✦ Synopsis

An electron-microscopic diffraction technique has been described to record with ease diffraction patterns of cotton cellulose with 3-5 sec exposure time, which is suited to determine the crystallinity of cellulose. The % crystallinity index for cotton and ramie determined by this technique amounted to 81% and 85%, respectively.
