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

Evaporation of water cannot be fully avoided when a n unsupported thin vitrified film of a n aqueous suspension is prepared for cryo-electron microscopy. This results in increasing concentration of solute which could affect the observed material. We have quantitatively studied this effect by measuri
## Abstract The diameter of lymphocytes, isolated from a sample of peripheral blood by FicollβHypaque sedimentation, was determined after eight different steps in the preparative procedure for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). There was a 43% total reduction in mean cellular diameter of the lymph
Cells grown on type I hydrated collagen gels require special techniques for sample preparation and processing in order to optimize the removal of all reagents from the collagen matrix and prevent artifactual shrinkage. This method includes cutting out a small block of the collagen gel, postfixation,
