  • Title: Specimen holder to critical-point dry microorganisms for scanning electron microscopy.
    Author: Kurtzman CP, Baker FL, Smiley MJ.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1974 Oct; 28(4):708-12. PubMed ID: 4213985.
    Abstract:
    Critical-point drying of microorganisms for scanning electron microscopy can be rapidly and effectively accomplished by use of a newly described specimen holder. Up to eight different samples of spores or vegetative cells are placed between polycarbonate membrane filters in the holder and processed through solvent dehydration and critical-point drying using carbon dioxide without loss or cross contamination of microorganisms. Yeasts, molds, bacteria, and actinomycetes have been successfully processed.
