Cryopreparation of Thin Biological Specimens for Electron Microscopy: Methods and Applications

Cryotechniques offer a number of advantages over conventional electron microscopy methods in biology, particularly with regard to preserving the morphology and composition of specimens. This handbook provides a practical guide for researchers, students, and technicians who wish to employ cryotechniques in their work. It covers those methods where the cryofixed specimen is sectioned or otherwise presented as a thin film for examination, giving special attention to topics of current interest. This guide will be of use to workers in a variety of biomedical disciplines, including cell biology, molecular biology, bacteriology, and pathology.Roos, Norbert is the author of 'Cryopreparation of Thin Biological Specimens for Electron Microscopy: Methods and Applications' with ISBN 9780198564249 and ISBN 0198564244.
