Histological Techniques for Electron Microscopy

Histological Techniques for Electron Microscopy, Second Edition, offers a practical guide for those who would study cells or tissues with an electron microscope. The book contains 11 chapters and begins with a discussion of the organization and management of an electron microscope laboratory. This is followed by separate chapters on tissue preservation; fixatives and their variations; methacrylate embedding and cross-linked plastics, microtomes and microtomy; and section mounting. Subsequent chapters deal with the techniques of "staining" for electron microscopy, photography; mounting, shadowing, and replication; and negative staining.
