title: A fast method for processing biopsy material for electron microscopy.
abstract: A rapid method for fixation and embedding of biopsy material for electron microscopic examination has been developed. The procedure was simplified by fixing the biopsies with fixative in ready-to-use ampules and hastened by chemical dehydration in 2,2-dimethoxypropane. The procedure takes 4 h and yields excellent results.
