โœฆ Synopsis


A method is described for eliminating a form of contamination called embedding pepper that appears in, or on, thin sections following poststaining in lead citrate. The pepper is present most often in the matrixes of mitochondria, peroxisomes, and red blood cells. Formation of pepper can be prevented by treating the section with 0.5 N HC1 or 1.0% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for 1-5 min before staining in uranyl acetate or lead citrate.
