Abstract

Sandwich freezing is a method of rapid freezing by sandwiching specimens between two copper disks and has been used for observing exquisite close-to-native ultrastructure of living yeast and bacteria. Recently, this method has been found to be useful for preserving cell images of glutaraldehyde-fixed cultured cells, as well as animal and human tissues. In the present study, this method was applied to observe the fine structure of living Arabidopsis plant tissues and was found to achieve excellent ultrastructural preservation of cells and tissues. This is the first report of applying the sandwich freezing method to observe plant tissues.
