I want to prepare a sample of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) PET for transmission electron microscopy, what is the best protocol to do it?

12 February 2020 0 6K Report

is it better to prepare thin section of the material OR do we need to do resin embedding and sectioning and what is the best stain to use?

I have found the article attached; is it useful?
