Abstract

The problem of the interpretation of images of biological objects in the scanning electron microscope is discussed. The influence of preparative techniques, drying and coating methods on the final image is illustrated by reference to higher plant protoplasts. Methods for confirming the presence of new structural detail are suggested. An attempt is made to illustrate and introduce the need for a higher standard of interpretative and critical skill in the presentation of results obtained by means of scanning electron microscopy.
