Notes

A modification of silver proteinate impregnation method for the kinetome of ciliates is presented. It differs from other methods in that it is performed in small jars with visual monitoring and the impregnated cells are imbedded in gelatin on a microscope slide. Thus the use of silver proteinate is decreased by at least 25-fold and loss of material due to lack of adhesion of cells to the slide is prevented. Good results are assured by constant visual monitoring throughout the procedure.
