SYNOPSIS The ultimate aim of a rational electron staining technique should be to locate specific chemical sites. In view of the uncertainty of the types of chemical reactions taking place with some “recognized” electron stains, it has been decided to investigate those interactions between metal salts and keratin which are known to lead to the formation of metal sulphides or metal co‐ordination compounds. The present work was concentrated on the effects of mercury and lead salts and, apart from the usual thin‐sectioning techniques, covered also small and large angle X‐ray diffraction observations.
