Abstract

This short survey of observations made with the x-ray scanning microanalyzer demonstrates the great advantage of its application to biological specimens With the method, it has been possible to analyze elemental iron localized in the PAS-positive granules appearing in the testicular nutritive cell of the pond snail.
