Amorphous and partially crystalline Fe7 8B1 3 Si9 alloys have been examined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy at 200kV. In lattice imaging mode, the as-quenched alloy shows small regions, with a mean size of - 20Å, consisting of well defined patterns of fringes. Three different types of crystals can be identified at the very earliest stages of crystallisation of the alloy.
