[Drying with hexamethyldisilizane--a time-saving alternative to the "critical point" method].
The capability of Hexamethyldisilizane (HMDS) as a solute for the last step in the dehydration of biological material for scanning electron microscopy was tested in the renal vessels of the rat. The HMDS-drying-method proved to be an economical alternative to the critical-point method.
