Preparation of a Selected Cell for Electron Microscopy

Abstract

This is a description of a simple device which makes it possible to cement a previously selected and embedded cell, white still on its coverslip, onto the center of the end of a lucite rod. The rod can be inserted into the chuck of a microtome, of the Porter-Blum type, after removal of the coverslip. There is a diagram of the apparatus and two figures of typical results.
