Notes:
Microanalysis data obtained using low temperature scanning electron microscopy of frozen hydrated etched mouse duodenum gives information about peak/background ratios of various elements in different cellular compartments. The present paper describes ways in which the data can be analyzed to minimize artifactual variations and to make clear where there are genuine differences in peak/background ratios when readings from different animals are compared. Using these methods, it is shown that in some areas of villous epithelium there are measurable differences in the ratios of sodium, calcium, and sulphur.
