A MODIFIED PROCEDURE FOR LEAD STAINING OF THIN SECTIONS

Open access
Millonig, Giuseppe·1961·The Journal of Cell Biology

Abstract

sections for electron microscopy has become the accepted practice in recent years. Salts of metals of high atomic weight such as uranium, chromium, thorium, lead, or tungsten, among many tested, have been found suitable (6, 1). "Lead hydroxide," as preparted by Watson (6), is now widely used, hut this solution is extremely unstable in air and becomes covered by a metallic-appearing film which imparts to the "stained " section a well known deposit of electron-opaque particles and crystals, reducing considerably the percentage of clean areas suitable for micrography (Fig. l). Several procedures and devices have been described to lessen these contaminations. Peachey (5), using lead hydroxide, or subacetate, found

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
