Size and shape determination of fixed chylomicrons and emulsions with fluid or solid surfaces by three-dimensional analysis of shadows.

Chylomicrons and chylomicron-sized emulsions are spherical particles in suspension but their shape and apparent size may be distorted by electron microscopy processing. To assess adsorption to grids, flattening, and shrinkage, chylomicrons and emulsions were fixed with osmium tetroxide and together...
