title: A simple method for processing cytologic samples obtained from body cavity fluids and by fine needle aspiration biopsy for ultrastructural studies.
abstract: A simple method for processing routine cytologic samples for electron microscopy is described. The method has been successfully applied to body cavity fluids and fine needle aspiration biopsies. The technique neither requires additional time and personnel nor interferes with the normal activity of the laboratory.
