โฆ Synopsis
An inexpensive and easy method for the preparation of fungal conidia for SEM is described. 10% formaldehyde solution is used as fixative agent and a specimen support consisting of a 2% agar layer resting on a narrow and short strip of cotton fabric, affixed by a proper adhesive to a narrow and short tin strip is employed.

A new method of preparing TEM samples from powders is described. The method consists of compacting epoxy-powder composite mixtures in special molds by centrifuging prior to polymerization. The compact is then ion milled by standard methods. Samples prepared in this way are currently being used to st
Polylysine (PL) binding (1) has been demonstrated to be potentially useful for attaching cells and membranes to surfaces, but difficulties in reproducibility have limited its application in routine scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of single-celled
In this paper we describe a novel method to prepare powder specimens for transmission electron microscopy examination. The powder samples are embedded in a metallic matrix by a route based on the plastic flow of a soft metal, using a small laboratory type hand driven hydraulic press. The resulting c
