A few years ago results on cryoprotection of L-valine were reported, where the values of the critical fluence De i.e, the electron exposure which decreases the intensity of the diffraction reflections by a factor e, amounted to the order of 2000 + 1000 e/nm2. In the meantime a discrepancy arose, since several groups published De values between 100 e/nm2 and 1200 e/nm2 /1 - 4/. This disagreement and particularly the wide spread of the results induced us to investigate more thoroughly the behaviour of organic crystals at very low temperatures during electron irradiation.For this purpose large L-valine crystals with homogenuous thickness were deposited on holey carbon films, thin carbon films or Au-coated holey carbon films. These specimens were cooled down to nearly liquid helium temperature in an electron microscope with a superconducting lens system and irradiated with 200 keU-electrons. The progress of radiation damage under different preparation conditions has been observed with series of electron diffraction patterns and direct images of extinction contours.

Despite their pharmacological relevance, the mechanism of transport across water/octanol phase boundaries has remained unexplored. Octanol molecular assemblies are demonstrated to reversibly bind water and swing like the hinge of a door.

A lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal consists of oriented molecular assemblies in solution. If the molecules are chiral, the helical pattern of orientational order is revealed by the stripes seen with polarized optical microscopy.
