Abstract
Critical-point drying of microorganisms for scanning electron microscopy can be rapidly and effectively accomplished by use of a newly described specimen holder. Up to eight different samples of spores or vegetative cells are placed between polycarbonate membrane filters in the holder and processed through solvent dehydration and critical-point drying using carbon dioxide without loss or cross contamination of microorganisms. Yeasts, molds, bacteria, and actinomycetes have been successfully processed.
