A Simple Light-Microscope Technique for the Examination of Cell Surfaces

A. ROSS 1 and I. P. GORMLEY 1

A simple technique for the examination of cell surfaces by shadowing them with a heavy metal and examining by light microscopy has been described. Stained preparations can be examined and photographed initially prior to investigation by this technique. It is suggested that this technique could be used instead of the scanning electron microscope or replica techniques where the limited resolution of the light microscope is sufficient.
