Abstract: | Summary The light microscopically invisible reaction product cerium phosphate in resin sections of rat kidney, that had been incubated for the demonstration of phosphatase activities before embedding, was converted into a visible reaction product by incubation for 10 min at 80° C in alka-line lead citrate in a microwave oven. This method offers the possibility to study phosphatase activities with the cerium method in semithin Epon sections. Furthermore it is a suitable method to select areas with phosphatase activity to be studied with the electron microscope. |
