The dislocations and twins in superconducting Bi-Ca-Sr-Cu-O samples are examined by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that these defects are inherent to the materials. The grains are large in size (1--10 {mu}m), but they are frequently divided into subgrains by low-angle grain boundaries. Furthermore, evidence is found for discommensurate walls associated with incommensuration along the {ital b} axis.
