Directed metal determination in pre- and post-natal stages of development of the islets of Langerhans by combined histochemical metal demonstration with electron probe X-ray microanalysis.
On the examples shown above it was possible to demonstrate that electron-X-ray microanalysis does not only present an important additional method for studying histochemical heavy metal reactions but can also be expected to provide, in combination with these, essential findings for the illustration of basic biological processes.
