A new electron microscope technique for the study of living materials

Microsc Acta. 1979 Jul;82(1):1-9.

Abstract

In order to gain informations on the real structure of biological specimens the "wet technique" for electron microscopy has been developed. The construction and the working principle of a special microchamber are described. Applications of this technique for the investigation of blood cells, gametes and various bacteries are demonstrated by micrographs.
