Abstract
Since its introduction in 1971 [2], labeling of antigens with gold particles to facilitate the detection of these antigens in thin sections of infected tissue by electron microscopy has proven to be a powerful technique. Also in plant pathology and especially in plant virology [4], this detection system has been applied frequently, enabling studies which were difficult or impossible before the gold era. Both in the field of diagnostics and research, scientists have profited from the gold label.
