Conventional specimen preparation techniques for scanning electron microscopy of biological specimens.
This chapter covers conventional methods for preparing biological specimens for examination in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Techniques for handling cells grown in liquid culture, as well as on substrates such as culture dishes, slide culture chambers or agar, are discussed. These methods may be used to process most cultured organisms as well as whole botanical and zoological specimens.
