Abstract
A quantitative preparation method is described in order to enable high precision coccoliths analysis with the scanning electron microscope ( SEM). This technique is fast and easy to apply and very thorough in th e counting procedure. An equivalent basis for the comparison of datase ts from sediments and water column is accomplished.
