Processing whole cells and tissues for conventional TEM is known to cause structural alterations. Much effort has been devoted, therefore, to developing techniques which avoid specimen preparation artefacts. Recently, research using a cryo-electron microscope has shown that biological suspensions embedded in vitreous ice retain their structural integrity, and when compared with conventionally prepared TEM specimens, are free from many of the classical artefacts. In order to extend the advantage of cryo TEM to whole cells and tissues, we have developed a method of thin sectioning vitrified material.
