A variety of research applications require the use of cultured cells. However, it often is difficult to obtain well embedded monolayers of cultured cells for ultrastructural analysis, especially if sections parallel to the cell monolayer are desirable. Previously published techniques for obtaining p

INTRODUCTION. TEM studies of isolated cell cultures are performed after processing of the samples through a number of stages. In oun laboratory, the fixed cells are initially packed in agar, collagen and other media rendering ensuing processing of the materials easier for embedding in epoxy resin.
## Abstract A method is described for the preparation of crossβsectional samples of thin films for transmission electron microscopy. The technique produces larger amounts of thin region as compared with ion milling and eliminates the problems associated with ion beam damage. The requirement is that
## Abstract Examination of whole mount cells in the transmission electron microscope has been useful in studies of cellular architecture. The common technique is to grow cells directly on formvarβcoated, gold grids for direct observation through a cell. We report a technique for obtaining whole mou
