Conventional fixation for thin-section electron microscopy is insufficient to preserve bacterial capsular material, a highly hydrated structure which collapses during dehydration and embedding. Boyles et al. (1984Boyles et al. ( , 1985) ) have recently introduced a modified aldehyde fixation process
Recently, we reported a new method combining freeze fixation followed by lyophilization and embedding in Lowicryl K4M (6). In the present brief report we compare the immunoreactivity of this preparation to chemically fixed and solvent dehydrated tissue traditionally used for electron microscopy (EM
