A microporous membrane made of a non-crystalline polymer having, within its wall, microfibrils and slit-like micropores which are oriented in the lengthwise direction of the membrane, said slit-like micropores communicating from one surface to the other surface of the membrane, and forming a stacked construction. This membrane has a high flux value of AFR and WFR, excellent heat-, solvent-, and pressure-resistance, and a high mechanical strength, and does not contain any undesirable materials which eluate during use. This membrane is thus useful as a multi-purpose separation membrane, such as for medical uses, food industries, purification of water or air, and the separation of hot liquids.
