Abstract
The sieve element plastids of Beta give a striking example of possible variation in electron microscope images resulting from different fixations. A prominent part of the plastid, a ringlike, apparently proteinaceous inclusion, is preserved by osmic acid but is eliminated in fixations with potassium permanganate. The external sculpturing of the plastid likewise is not preserved by potassium permanganate.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
