A "pop off" technique for reprocessing histological sections of the paramyxean Marteilia sydneyi for electron microscopy.
A "pop off" technique is described for transferring paraffin-embedded tissue sections of Saccostrea glomerata infected with the paramyxean Marteilia svdneyi to resin blocks for electron microscopy. Paramyxean features that were clearly recognisable were cell-within-cell arrangements and organelles, such as haplosporosomes, vermiform vesicles and multivesicular bodies. These features are important for correct taxonomic identification.
