3.2. Vitrification

Sample preparation techniques such as staining and plastic embedding involve the dehydration of biological specimens, which fundamentally removes them from their native, aqueous environment. 

[…]

3. Grid preparation

Once the specimen is ready, it must be prepared for imaging by EM. To image with electrons, a microscope is maintained under a high vacuum, in which hydrated biological specimens would dehydrate rapidly. Thus to image a biological specimen, it must be fixed, preferably in a native (or native-like) state.”
