A review of the theory of melt growth and solid-liquid interface was made referring to the kinetic equations. In situ observation of growth and melting processes of salol crystals was attempted using a differential interference microscope and colour videotape recording. Behaviour of thin layers on the basal faces of salol during growth and melt was analysed. Most thin and small crystals (about 50μ in edge length) were dislocation free. Dependence of the effect of reentrant angle on supercooling was found. Micro-topogrphic features were compared among vapour, solution and melt growth.
