Abstract
Friend (1963) has described a microstrainer for handling microscopic marine ova which permits direct transfer of batches of ova through various histological solutions without centrifugation or decanting. This strainer consists of a length of glass tubing with an electron microscope grid cemented over one end. In our laboratory, several modifications of this device have been made for use in handling mammalian ova and blastocysts. The most satisfactory model, which can be made easily, was contructed from BEEM plastic capsules (Better Equipment for Electron Microscopy, Inc., P.O. Box 132 Jerome Avenue Station, Bronx, New York 10468) and circular electron microscope grids of suitable mesh size.
