Sidec electron tomography: bridging the gap between light microscopy and atomic structure determinations
Protein binding and conformation are vital to all processes in the cell, and there is a fundamental need to understand these events on a functional level. Most analytical techniques, however, are indirect or interfere with the object under investigation. Furthermore, traditional techniques often present averaged data from several events. SET provides a new approach for the study of individual p...
متن کاملCryo-fluorescence microscopy facilitates correlations between light and cryo-electron microscopy and reduces the rate of photobleaching.
Fluorescence light microscopy (LM) has many advantages for the study of cell organization. Specimen preparation is easy and relatively inexpensive, and the use of appropriate tags gives scientists the ability to visualize specific proteins of interest. LM is, however, limited in resolution, so when one is interested in ultrastructure, one must turn to electron microscopy (EM), even though this ...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Correlative Microscopy: Bridging the Gap between Single Molecule Localization Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy.
Nanoscale characterization of living samples has become essential for modern biology. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) creates topological images of fragile biological structures from biomolecules to living cells in aqueous environments. However, correlating nanoscale structure to biological function of specific proteins can be challenging. To this end we have built and characterized a correlated ...
متن کاملLow-Cost Cryo-Light Microscopy Stage Fabrication for Correlated Light/Electron Microscopy
The coupling of cryo-light microscopy (cryo-LM) and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) poses a number of advantages for understanding cellular dynamics and ultrastructure. First, cells can be imaged in a near native environment for both techniques. Second, due to the vitrification process, samples are preserved by rapid physical immobilization rather than slow chemical fixation. Third, imaging ...
متن کاملBridging the resolution gap: Imaging the same transcription factories in cryosections by light and electron microscopy.
The resolution of conventional light microscopy is limited to approximately 200 nm in the x- and y-axes and >500 nm in the z-axis. A simple way of improving z-axis resolution is to analyze thin sections of 100-200 nm. The utility of such an approach is illustrated by reference to transcription sites imaged in cryosections of human nuclei. Cells are permeabilized, allowed to extend nascent trans...
