Abstract

Transmission electron microscopy investigation of thin sections remains the major method of cells inner structure study with high resolution. However, the present-day technique of cells preparation make it impossible to study a number of biological samples, such as very small quantity of lymph cells of little insects (spiders, fleas, etc.). A new technique of cells preparation has been developed in our lab, which allow to obtain a thin sections of ultra small quantity of cells (less then 100). Structure of lymph cells of flea was investigated by the technique.
