Fixation of microsporidian spores for electron microscopy

Larsson, Ronny LU (2005) In Journal of Invertebrate Pathology 90(1). p.47-50
Abstract
Fresh and frozen spores of the microsporidia Nosema apis and Nosema bombi were fixed using various fixatives at different times and temperatures. Paraformaldehyde and technical formaldehyde gave results comparable to or better than glutaraldehyde. Increased fixation temperature improved the fixation of spores from terrestrial hosts. Freezing did not destroy the cytology or the spore.
