Abstract:
Critical-point dried trachea specimens were rinsed for 48 h in dimethylsulphoxide before being embedded in Epon 812 to obtain semithin and ultrathin sections. Compared with methods hitherto published, this treatment leads to better resin infiltration of the specimens and better preservation of intracellular structures.
