Abstract

The diameter of lymphocytes, isolated from a sample of peripheral blood by Ficoll‐Hypaque 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 lymphocytes studied, the diameter dropping from 8.4 ΞΌm prior to fixation, to a final diameter of 4.8 ΞΌm in the cells examined under the scanning electron microscope. The bulk of this shrinkage occurred during critical‐point drying. In view of this finding, caution should be exercised in describing detailed cell surface morphology by SEM when similar preparative procedures are employed.
