Abstract:
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) provides high resolution and accuracy at the subcellular level for observing and investigating cellular structures. This is essential for understanding a large variety of cellular processes. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for preparing Drosophila follicles in order to be used as a specimen for transmission electron microscopy.
