| Method |
For fluorescence microscopy preserved samples
were filtered onto Irgalan Black stained 0.2 µm Nuclepore
filters, stained for 10 min with DAPI (Porter & Feig
1980), and mounted in paraffin. |
| Comments |
For preserved cells measured in the epifluorescence
microscope after staining with DAPI, researchers suggest a volume to carbon conversion factor of 220 fg C/µm^3 |
