Vertical plane serial sectioning of identified tissue culture cells.
Identifying marks can be made around specific cells on the culture surface of plastic tissue culture dishes. When the cultures are embedded in situ and the plastic dish is split away, the marks are reproduced around the cells. The marks permit trimming and complete serial sectioning of specific cells in the vertical plane.
