A method is described for substituting gold for osmium as a marker in the unlabeled antibody technique. The gold marker can be detected in the light or electron microscope. The gold-labeled reaction product can be detected in lower concentrations than osmium and can be used as the basis for quantitating antigen concentrations in cells and tissues with the scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray analysis.
