Abstract

A technique is described which the glass coverslip of a culture, flat embedded in epoxy resins can be removed easily using hydrofluoric acid. Removal by this method leaves the surface of the resin quite smooth and suitable for subsequent thin or ultrathin sectioning for electron microscopy.
