Preparation of samples for TEM analysis
A solution of isolated M13 bacteriophage (20 μL) was adsorbed onto a
300-mesh carbon-coated copper grid (AGS160-3) for two minutes. The grid
was then stained with 2% uranyl acetate before TEM analysis. A Zeiss -
EM10C - 80 KV transmission electron microscope was used for visualizing
the prepared samples.
