Uranyl-formol: a simple and reliable stain for routine electron microscope observation of ultrathin sections.
A new, highly stable uranium stain, which allows very simple, ultra rapid staining procedures for routine electron microscopy of ultrathin sections, is presented. The advantages of the new staining procedures, in comparison with the most conventional ones, employing lead citrate, are illustrated and discussed.
