Abstract
A rapid method for fixation and embedding of plant materials, especial ly pteridophytes, is suggested. Addition of tannic acid following osmi cation improved the visualization of membranes. Staining en bloc with uranyl acetate between osmication and tannic acid is suggested for tis sues infected with fungi and bacteria.
