Normal 3T3 cells were exposed to vinblastine and cytochalasin B in an attempt to correlate the morphological changes of the cell surface as seen in the scanning electron microscope with ultrastructural changes of the cytoskeletal elements as seen in critical-point-dried cells in the transmission electron microscope. Special attention was given to the changes in the cytoplasmic domains distinguished in a previous paper. Cytochalasin B primarily affects the ultrastructure of the cytocortical domain by inducing the formation of condensation foci on the cytoplasmic material. Vinblastine not only induces the depolymerization of microtubules and the perinuclear concentration of intermediate filaments, but it also causes the disappearance of stress fibres from the cortical cytoplasm and the widening of the cytocortex at the expense of the endoplasmic domain. These results support the hypothesis that the differentiation in ultrastructural domains is dependent on the spreading of the cells and their adhesion to substrate.

Historically, ultra high spatial resolution electron microscopy has belonged to the transmission electron microscope. Today, however, ultra high resolution scanning electron microscopes are beginning to challenge the transmission microscope for the highest resolution.To accomplish high resolution surface imaging, not only is high resolution required. It is also necessary that the integrity of the specimen be preserved, i.e., that morphological changes to the specimen during observation are prevented. The two major artifacts introduced during observation are contamination and beam damage, both created by the small, high current-density probes necessary for high signal generation in the scanning instrument. The JSM-890 Ultra High Resolution Scanning Microscope provides the highest resolution probe attainable in a dedicated scanning electron microscope and its design also accounts for the problematical artifacts described above.Extensive experience with scanning transmission electron microscopes lead to the design considerations of the ultra high resolution JSM- 890.

Intravenous infusion of 4�5-4�7 mg of mouse epidermal growth factor (mEGF) into nine castrated male Merino sheep for 26 h resulted in complete casting of the fleeces 6-8 days later. The morphological changes which occurred in the skin were studied in skin samples taken before infusion and at intervals between 1 hand 42 days after the infusion had begun. Wool fibres from the shed fleeces were examined with the scanning electron microscope.
