SYNOPSIS The value of a two‐stage replica method for the light microscopy of surfaces is stressed and the method of replication is briefly described. The replica is made in an optically homogeneous transparent plastic and is metal shadowed to give a more informative image of good contrast. An attractive feature of the method is that it also permits selected areas of a specimen to be studied in the electron microscope.
