You need to use the lowest glutaraldehyde concentration possible. I normally work with 2% - 4%. In this case the fixation solution was 2,5% glutaraldehyde in cacodylate buffer (ph 7.2).

Is that SEM located at FU, HU, TU, some other institution, or do we have reason to turn green with envy as it's your personal toy?
