We observed carbon nanotubes under electric field by transmission electron microscope in order to clarify the mechanisms of field emission from carbon nanotubes. Lying carbon nanotubes start to stand along the electric field vector under the electric field of 0.5V/ mm. Standing carbon nanotubes return to their original positions when the electric field becomes zero.
