Staining system: a cheap and simple way for staining ultrathin sections.
A staining device for sectioned material supported on grids for viewing at the Transmission Electron Microscope is described. The method based in a double side sticky tape is inexpensive, rapid and clean. By using only pipettes and a double side sticky tape the best solution to the tedious problems of sections staining is obtained. The tape is discarded and the staining solution too. Precipitates have not been observed.
