Abstract
A technique of encapsulating small objects in calcium alginate for fur ther processing for transmission electron microscopy is described. Fiv e methods are outlined which enable a variety of specimens including s ingle cells (in suspension and on agar plates), small organisms and mo nolayers of tissue culture cells to be processed. A method for immunol abelling alginate-entrapped material is also outlined.
