Flat Embedding

Flat embeddment of certain specimens for electron microscopy is necessary for three classes of biological materials: namely monolayer cells, tissue sections of paraffin or plastics, as well as cell concentrations, exfoliated cells, and cell smears. The present report concerns a flat-embedding technique which can be applied to all these three classes of materials and which is a modified and improved version of Chang's original methodology.Preparation of coverglasses and microslides. Chemically cleaned coverglasses, 11 × 22 mm or other sizes, are laid in rows on black paper. Ink-mark one coner for identifying the spray-side of the glass for growing cells. Lightly spray with Teflon monomer (Heddy/Contact Inductries, Paterson, NO 07524, U.S.A.) from a pressurized can. Bake the sprayed glasses at 500°F for 45 min on Cover-Glass Ceramic Racks (A. Thomas Co. Philadelphia), for Teflon to polymerize.Monolayer Cells. After sterilization, the Teflon-treated coverglasses, with cells attached, are treated or fixed in situ in Columbia staining dishes (A. Thomas Co., Philadelphia) for subsequent processing.
