Abstract
This paper reviews recent technical approaches to the study of element localization in plant cells. It is concerned with sample preparation; with the use of electron probe microanalysis in the low temperature s canning electron microscope; with the use of electron energy loss spec trocopy and electron spectroscopic imaging in the transmission electro n microscope. Basic principles of instrumentation, special problems du ring cryopreparation of plant tissues, and the application of these te chniques within selected fields of botanical interests are briefly dis cussed.
