Abstract

A staining method to handle simultaneously as many as 20 electron microscope grids is described. The devices used are easily constructed of readily obtained inexpensive materials. The volumes of stain and wash water required are very small and drying grids is simplified.

An improved method for mounting frozen-section specimens.

We describe an efficient method for embedding frozen-section specimens. Transparent tape is used to produce a well on the surface of the tissue holder ("chuck"). This well contains a quantity of nonmotile mounting media in which a tissue specimen can be easily oriented. After freezing, the tape is removed, leaving a relatively smooth surface.
