title: Scanning electron microscopy: low-magnification pictures of uncoated zoological specimens.
abstract: Good low-magnification (x 5 to x 500) scanning electron microscope pictures of dry, uncoated zoological specimens may be obtained with a low accelerating voltage (1.5 to 3 kilovolts) in conjunction with a short exposure to the scanning beam.
