Dimensional changes of cultured smooth muscle cells due to preparatory processes for transmission electron microscopy
Abstract
The change in volume of cultured smooth muscle cells prepared with four different fixation procedures for transmission electron microscopy was studied. Although the cells showed swelling after being embedded in Spurr's embedding medium, the degree of swelling depended on the particular method of fixation procedure used. When the volume of the cells measured using transmission electron microscopy was compared with that of the fresh cell volume, …
