Although a very large number of studies has been made upon the chemical reactions which can be induced by electric discharges, the effects of controlled condenser sparks appear to have been neglected, with one exception. Wrede has shown that if a large condenser (8 mfd) is charged to a high potential, and then allowed to discharge through a gas at low pressure, a spark gap being inserted in series with the discharge tube proper to increase the breakdown voltage, then hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen may be dissociated to the extent of 80, 60, and 40% respectively, the atom concentration being measured upon a most ingenious “diffusion gauge.” The Wrede discharge has been extensively employed by Steiner and his associates in a series of semi-spectroscopic investigations upon active nitrogen and atomic hydrogen, but its use as a means of effecting chemical reaction has not so far received attention.

Lipid cytochemistry has not yet advanced far at the EM level. A major problem has been the loss of lipid during dehydration and embedding. Although the adoption of glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide accelerate the chemical reaction of lipid and osmium tetroxide can react on the double bouds of unsaturated lipid to from the osmium black, osmium tetroxide can be reduced in saturated lipid and subsequently some of unsaturated lipid are lost during dehydration. In order to reduce the loss of lipid by traditional method, some researchers adopted a few new methods, such as the change of embedding procedure and the adoption of new embedding media, to solve the problem. In a sense, these new methods are effective. They, however, usually require a long period of preparation. In this paper, we do research on the fiora nectary strucure of lauraceae by the rapid-embedding method wwith PEG under electron microscope and attempt to find a better method to solve the problem mentioned above.
