A wide variety of plant and animal tissues were prepared for EM by freeze-substitution, after rapid freezing on a liquid N cooled Cu block by the van Harreveld method. Measurements were made of ice crystal size vs. depth in tissues that had not been treated with any cryoprotectants. Ice crystal size increased exponentially with depth. A narrow surface band (approximately 12 .mu.m) was frozen sufficiently rapidly to prevent the formation of electron microscopically-visible ice crystals.
