Abstract: | Summary A method is described for the monolayer cultivation of primary cell suspensions and established cell lines directly in carbon-coated
BEEM capsules. BEEM capsules are routinely employed by electron microscopists in tissue embedding procedures; growing monolayer
cultures directly on the lids of inverted BEEM capsules presents the obvious advantage of maintaining cell to cell to substratum
contacts with a minimum of stress and damage in the preparative steps for electron microscopy.
