A new technique of scanning electron microscopy for visualization of hidden cellular surfaces in organs and tissue has been developed. It employs the sample incubation in 30% potassium hydroxide and 96% alcohol mixed in equal amounts and dissociation until single cells appear in the solution, this being checked under phase-contrast microscope. The method is beneficial in non-standard cases of three-dimensional organization of organs and tissues.
