Abstract
An embedding method requiring only 2 h to complete and giving excellent ultrastructural preservation has been used for the rapid detection of viruses in tissue cultures. The method has also been applied successfully to mammalian tissue. It provides a rapid technique for identifying viruses isolated in tissue cultures, for screening cultures for adventitious agents, and for examining tissue biopsies for viruses.
