ABSTRACT:
A method for pretreating a biological material for observation by scanning electron microscope which comprises: placing a biological material in a vacuum, supplying an inert gas to a predetermined level of pressure; and energizing the inert gas for ionization for a time sufficient to cause the surface of the biological material to be activated whereby when an electron beam is irradiated on the treated surfaces, secondary electrons are emitted in a high efficiency. The apparatus for carrying out the above method is also described.
