Tóm tắt

SUMMARYNanoplankton can be readily attached to polylysine‐coated substrates for examination by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. This simple technique gives high yields of organisms which are consistently better preserved and less obscured by detritus than samples dried directly on to substrates.
