Abstract
Data and theory on the contribution of the deposits of osmium compounds in tissues fixed in OsO4 solutions to the contrast observed in electron micrographs of sections of such tissues are re-examined. It is concluded that little if any of the contrast observed can be the scattering of electrons by the deposits of osmium compounds, but must be due to the proteins, nucleic acids, etc., of which the tissues are composed.
