โฆ Synopsis
Determination of the structural characteristics of angiogenesis requires a procedure protective of the forming vascular fibers and the endothelial cell monolayer exhibiting cord formation. This report describes in situ fixation of angiogenic cultures in 96-well plates and the subsequent double embedding processing for electron microscopy. Cross sections of the monolayer are obtained without damage of the incipient capillaries.
