Abstract
TWO-STAGE replication techniques using evaporated carbon as the second stage have been widely applied in the electron microscopy of solid surfaces1. The most popular materials for first-stage replicas, however, are soluble only in organic liquids, and since vulcanized rubber generally swells in contact with such solvents, they must be avoided if faithful reproduction of such a surface is to be obtained.
