abstract = {The preparation of biological cells for either scanning or
transmission electron microscopy requires a complex process
of fixation, dehydration and drying. Critical point drying
is commonly used for samples investigated with a scanning
electron beam, whereas resin-infiltration is typically used
for transmission electron microscopy. Critical point drying
may cause cracks at the cellular surface and a sponge-like
morphology of nondistinguishable intracellular compartments.
Resin-infiltrated biological samples result in a solid block
of resin, which can be further processed by mechanical
sectioning, however that does not allow a top view
examination of small cell–cell and cell–surface
contacts. Here, we propose a method for removing resin
excess on biological samples before effective
polymerization. In this way the cells result to be embedded
in an ultra-thin layer of epoxy resin. This novel method
highlights in contrast to standard methods the imaging of
individual cells not only on nanostructured planar surfaces
but also on topologically challenging substrates with high
aspect ratio three-dimensional features by scanning electron
microscopy.},
