An improved method for rapid fixation and embedding of pteridophyte plant materials

A rapid method for fixation and embedding of plant materials, especially pterido-phytes, is suggested. Addition of tannic acid following osmication improved the visualization of membranes. Staining en bloc with uranyl acetate between osmication and tannic acid is suggested for tissues infected with...

Zusammenfassung:A rapid method for fixation and embedding of plant materials, especially pterido-phytes, is suggested. Addition of tannic acid following osmication improved the visualization of membranes. Staining en bloc with uranyl acetate between osmication and tannic acid is suggested for tissues infected with fungi and bacteria.
