Abstract

A disadvantage of the lead strains used in electron microscopy is the amount of time required for their preparation. One of the more stable and reliable stains, commonly called the lead citrate stain or Reynolds ' stain (Reynolds, 1963), is made by mixing lead nitrate and sodium citrate in distilled water, allowing time for lead citrate to form, then adding sodium hydroxide to raise the pH of the solution to 12. This communication reports the use of a commercially available lead citratO to eliminate the

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.
