Abstract
Summary
A modification of the Beck-Hertz technic permits direct mounting of sickle cells for electron microscopy studies. Electron micrographs of sickle cells essentially confirm the findings of Diggs and Bibb and substantiate pertinent optical studies as to structural detail. In addition, both corpuscular hemoglobin-membrane relationships and polar filament structure are further visualized.
