The course will introduce the techniques of cryosectioning, rapid freezing methods as an alternative to chemical fixation, freeze substitution and resin embedding. It will instruct participants in the sectioning of suitably prepared material and will then concentrate on the use of these sections for localizing specific molecules within cells. Ample time will be given to hands on practical work as well as formal and informal discussion of available techniques for the localization of subcellular molecules.
