We review the results of recent microscopic measurements of flux line structures and their breakdown in the high-Tc superconductors BSCCO and YBCO. These results show clear effects of flux of lattice melting, dimensional crossover and pinning. The huge differences in behaviour of the flux lattice in these two materials can be understood theoretically.
