Summary

A Raman microprobe technique was used for the identification of intracellular particles of a pesticide added to a culture of the ciliate protozoanColpidium campylum. 2 methods, a wet and a dry, can be used for sample preparation. In both cases it was possible to find characteristic lines of 2 pollutants: 4′,4′-dichlorodiphenyl andβ-endosulfan. Some technical problems were encountered: the dry method causes drastic cellular alteration; the cell can move and go out of laser focus in the wet method.
