AB - Abstract The screening of possible candidates for vapour fixation for microgravity experiments indicated that the only useful agents were acrolein and formaldehyde. Acrolein, alone or in combination with formaldehyde, gives consistently good preservation of non-vacuolate cells with good cytoplasmic detail. Formaldehyde also produces good preservation. In highly vacuolate cells plasmolysis occurs and is probably unavoidable in vapour fixation. The duration of fixation can be varied considerably without gross differences in the fixation image. The identification of a successful inactivation procedure means that acrolein vapour fixation has the potential to be applied in practice.
