SUMMARY Various plant tissues were prepared for electron microscopy using a rapid process similar to that of Hayat & Giaquinta (1970) for animal tissue. The entire preparation took less than 4 h instead of the several days taken for the usual method and gave very good results. Root, leaf and fruit tissues were used.
