The effect of glycerol upon the superficial structure of Chinese hamster fibroblast-like cells was studied. The analysis of scanning electron microscopy data made it clear that glycerol-induced changes in the surface structures were of various character depending on the duration of the contact period. A long-term (4 hour long) exposure to glycerol provoked significant structural changes. Nevertheless, the effects were reversible, judging by the fact that the washing-out of cell suspensions led to the repair of cell structures.
