Hi Despina,

X-ray microanalysis would be the easiest answer. If you have an SEM with
X-ray microanalysis and a backscatter detector system, you could examine
semi-thins mounted onto plastic film carbon coated as for a scanning
sample.

Cheers

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone knows whether tissue processed for
electron microscopy (osmicated and embedded in epoxy) can be further
processed for zinc detection.
Thanks!
