The growth of highly ordered or even epitaxial organic thin films on inorganic substrates very much depends on the preparation parameters like temperature and deposition rate as well as on the molecular properties, interface bonding, and substrate morphology. Various high resolution surface sensitive techniques are successfully applied to get a deeper understanding of the substrate bonding, intermolecular interaction, and electronic properties of interface and organic thin film. A novel spectro-microscope with aberration correction and energy filtering allows the direct observation of layer growth and the spectroscopic study of nano-objects like organic crystallites. With this instrument called SMART structural, chemical, and electronic properties as well as their dynamic development can be investigated with down to 2 nm spatial, < 100 meV electron energy, and 10 to 50 meV photon energy resolution. The SMART is briefly introduced, and several examples of organic layer growth are discussed. These show the transition from Stranski-Krastanov to Franck-van der Merwe growth, the influence of substrate steps and step bunches, and the dependence of the growth properties on temperature and molecule.
