en bloc staining

En bloc staining is one of electron staining techniques. A biological specimen (block tissue) is immersed in a solution of uranium acetate or an aqueous solution of lead aspartic acid after postfixation and before dehydration, for electron staining. En bloc staining enhances the TEM image contrast of membrane structures or fibrous structures in cells.
