The overall goal of this procedure is to determine the location and structure of calcification event by performing a combination of optical and electron microscopy methods. This is accomplished by monitoring the living larval tube worm during meta

We demonstrate the use of various microscopy methods that are useful in observing the calcification of a tubeworm, Hydroides elegans, as well as locating and characterizing the first calcified material. Live microscopy and electron microscopy are used together to provide functional and material information that are important in studying biomineralization.
