Abstract
The principle and the technical feasibility of freeze-etching were described by R.L. Steere in 1957. This ingenious technique remained, however, of little practical use until 1961, when H. Moor and coll. brought decisive practical improvements to the original design and made it a commercially available device which is now common equipment of electron microscopy laboratories.
