Abstract By applying stringent conditions to the imaging process it has been possible to produce electron micrographs of the smectic planes in a highly beam sensitive polymethcrylate side chain liquid crystal polymer. These planes show a high degree of internal perfection, while, at the same time, showing clear evidence of curvature. The director orientation was determined over a fairly large region.
