Abstract
Detailed information on the inner structure of the nucleon is provided by a ccurate data on the dependence of the nucleon form factors on momentum tran sfer Q(2). Whereas the proton form factors are known with excellent precisi on over a. large range of Q(2), data for the neutron are of much poorer qua lity due to the lack of a free neutron target. However, with today's high d uty factor, high current electron beam facilities like Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) and the MAinz MIcrotron (MAMI), and the progress made in polarized beam and target technology, significant progress in this area is being made .
