Microscopy of Living Terrestrial and Aquatic Microorganisms: A Simple Technique Using Flat Glass Capillaries.

Jeffries, Peter

Journal of Biological Education, V16 N1 p35-38 Spr 1982

Techniques for examining terrestrial and aquatic microorganisms using flattened glass capillaries are described. Capillaries can be left in natural or artificial environments for appropriate periods of time and removed for direct microscopic examination. Examples of organisms observed using the technique are given and suggestions made for wider applications. (Author/JN)
