    • To detail the steps and evaluate the performance of this novel technique.

    Main Methods:

    • The method involves freeze fracturing of the tissue.
    • A suitable monolayer is applied, followed by low-temperature exposure.
    • Tissue and replica-monolayer-sandwich are separated after photographic processing.

    Main Results:

    • The described method allows for the electron microscope autoradiography of soluble substances in frozen tissue.
    • The process involves freeze fracturing, monolayer application, low-temperature exposure, and separation.
    • Advantages and limitations concerning monolayer quality, contact, histochemography, resolution, and artifacts were discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • The new method offers a viable approach for studying soluble substances in frozen tissues using electron microscopy.
    • Careful consideration of factors like monolayer quality and potential artifacts is necessary for optimal results.
    • This technique advances the capability for high-resolution imaging in cryo-histochemistry.
