Abstract
When freeze-fractured fungal structures are critical point dried and then examined in the scanning electron microscope several structures are evident that are obscured by other techniques. A comparison of freeze-fracture with the techniques of razor blade sectioning and microtomy of wax-embedded or plastic-embedded material was carried out or reviewed from the literature. In most cases superior results can be obtained with the cryofracture technique followed by critical point drying.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
