We obtain a low-momentum-transfer theorem for positive- and negative-muon--nuclear scattering, in terms of the charge and the electric and magnetic polarizabilities. The result opens the way to use muons as a tool to probe the electromagnetic structure of composite objects. Predictions of this two-photon effect for the asymmetry in the angular distribution of negative and positive muons scattered by /sup 4/He are given.
