Abstract:
Electron microscopy represents a powerful visualizing technique, capable of a million times magnification. Prior to imaging, biological samples must undergo complex preparation to withstand the exposition to electrons in the vacuum inside the electron microscope. Here, we describe a preparation technique allowing preservation of scarce and delicate human oocytes for ultrastructural investigation.
