A technique is described for the localization in the electron microscope of periodate-reactive mucosubstances and polysaccharides containing vic-glycol groups. In this technique the sugar residues are oxidized by periodic acid and the resulting aldehydes condensed with pentafluorophenylhydrazine under specified conditions. Further increase in specific electron density is achieved by treating the hydrazone end-product with ammonium sulfide followed by osmium tetraxide to form an osmium black. The technique was applied to liver and small intestine cells [rat] in which glycogen, sialomucins and sul-fated mucosubstances reacted especially strongly. A marked positive reaction was also obtained from the interstitial cell matrix and from the Golgi apparatus and multivesicular bodies of the intestinal epithelial cells. The reaction can be prevented by the emission of the periodate oxidation and, if due to glycogen, by prior treatment with diastase.
