Abstract
Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is a textbook application of surface scie nce which makes direct use of many of the tools for characterizing cle an surfaces. The development of MBE coincided with the development of these tools and thus the history of MBE is an important part of the hi story of modern surface science. A subjective recounting of the early history of MBE is presented, along with some biased conjectures about the future.
