Localisation of caps on mouse B lymphocytes by scanning electron microscopy

Nature volume 255, pages 717–719 (1975)Cite this article

Abstract

WE have used cathodoluminescence (CL) to detect fluorescein-labelled anti-IgG-induced caps on mouse B lymphocytes by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). This approach, which has as yet been little explored, depends critically on efficient collection of a weak CL signal1,2. It provides a means of identifying antigenic markers in the SEM.
