Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Professor Ingrid H. Sarelius and Dr. Ronen Sumagin for providing me with the cremaster specimens and taking the time helping me interpret the resulting micrographs.
A special gratitude, to my good friend Oded N. Spindel, for a dedicated proofreading and for providing me with food for thought (and food for my stomach…)
I would like to thank my wife and my best friend Hen, for suggesting this project, thinking I will have a better clue, next time she will talk about 'leukocytes' 'transmigration' and all of that...(yea right)
Brian, it was a pleasure working under your guidance. This course was my first exposure to the electron microscopy world, this is by far the best experience I had during my academic career until now...Thank you!
