Abstract

THE technique of shadowing specimens with metal vapour in high vacuum is now a frequent practice in electron microscopy1. The same technique may also be used with advantage in photomicrography, in order to bring out details of surface structure which are otherwise invisible. The present work is a study of the flagellate form of Leishmania donovani, the parasite of kala-azar, both with electron and shadowed photomicrographs.
