563 tions as a reference, has a refractive index of 1.455. The authors modified routine embedding for electron microscopy to give a suitable method for preparing mounts for light microscopy. Nematodes are picked out from samples by conventional methods, cooled to 4°, assembled in a double sieve (De Grisse, 1969), fixed for at least 2 hr in 4 % paraldehyde in Sorensenbuffer at 4°, rinsed in buffer, post- fixed in 1 % osmic acid in buffer for 1-2 hr, dehydrated in acetone by Sitte's (1962) pressure method, transferred to a 1:4 mixture of ERL (Spurr, 1969) and acetone, in which they are left for at least 20 hr, then transferred to 100 % ERL for 2 hr. The sieve is opened and the nematodes are placed in a drop of ERL on a conventional slide, covered with a coverslip which will adjust itself correctly without flattening the nematodes. The slides are exposed to 60° for at least 24 hr. If further investigations of the specimen are desired, the slide is placed in a petri dish filled with propylene oxide for ca. 24 hr, after which the coverslip will have separated from the resin plate. The latter is re-embedded
