A negative staining method for high resolution electron microscopy of viruses.

TL;DR: A simple technique has been developed for the study of the external form and structure of virus particles by mixing virus preparations with 1% phosphotungstic acid adjusted to pH 7.5 and spraying directly onto electron microscope supporting films made from evaporated carbon.

Direct observation of the tetrahedral bonding in graphitized carbon black by high resolution electron microscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the tetrahedral bonds in graphite-like carbon particles were investigated and it was shown that the bending of the graphite layers should be caused by the carbon atoms having the tetric bonds.

Electron microscopy of structural detail in frozen biological specimens.

TL;DR: A procedure is described whereby preshadowed replicas can be obtained from frozen biological specimens which have been cut and then etched by sublimation of the ice from their surfaces to demonstrate the values of the procedure.

Electron‐beam fabrication of 80‐Å metal structures

TL;DR: In this article, a contamination resist pattern is written with a 5.A 45-keV scanning electron beam in a 100-A-thick Au-Pd film supported by a carbon foil.
