SUMMARY Evaluation of various types of clear plastic support material for light and scanning electron microscopy of the same section was conducted. GelBond was found to be the most satisfactory among seven different types of plastic materials tested. It offers all of the advantages of glass slides for light microscopy while being thin and flexible enough to cut and sputter coat for SEM.
