Research Abstract |
The objective of the present study is to establish a novel method for TEM observation of microalgae by using the “rapid freezing and freeze substitution” techniques. By using a portable deep freezer and half-frozen acetone, several strains of microalga were nicely prepared for TEM observation. The new technique is introduced at a website for its dissemination: (http://feis.fra.affrc.go.jp/keisou_Virus/kimura_freeze.html).
