In electron optics laboratories where biological specimens are processed, particularly in service laboratories, there is a need to be able to fix, dehydrate, and critical point dry samples of various sizes and to process from one to several samples at a time. This need is dealt with in various ways
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
## Abstract The specimen holder for scanning electron microscopy described herein allows a single specimen to be examined in any possible view and significantly improves object illumination. The specimen is glued to a fine pin and flexibly mounted on a doubleβsided adhesive conductive pad on a rota
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
