Chloroplast division in spinach leaves examined by scanning electron microscopy and freeze-etching.
Spinach leaf disks were cultured for 5 days in low-intensity green light and then were transferred to high-intensity white light. Harvests over the next 16 h established that cell area increased by about 80% and chloroplast number per cell increased by about 65%, while the percentage of dumbbell-shaped chloroplasts per cell decreased by 65%. Freeze-etch replicas of fixed and unfixed leaf disks,...
متن کاملImaging the endothelial glycocalyx in vitro by rapid freezing/freeze substitution transmission electron microscopy.
OBJECTIVE Recent publications questioned the validity of endothelial cell (EC) culture studies of glycocalyx (GCX) function because of findings that GCX in vitro may be substantially thinner than GCX in vivo. The assessment of thickness differences is complicated by GCX collapse during dehydration for traditional electron microscopy. We measured in vitro GCX thickness using rapid freezing/freez...
متن کاملMitosis in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as revealed by freeze-substitution electron microscopy.
Nuclear division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been studied in transmission electron micrographs of sections of cells fixed by a method of freeze-substitution. We have found cytoplasmic microtubules in the vicinity of the spindle pole bodies and two kinds of microtubules, short discontinuous ones and long, parallel ones in the intranuclear mitotic spindle. For most of the time taken by nucle...
متن کاملSafe specimen preparation for electron microscopy of pathogenic fungi by freeze-substitution after glutaraldehyde fixation.
A safe method is described for observing ultrastructure of highly infectious fungi by ultrathin sectioning electron microscopy. The fungal cells were first chemically fixed by glutaraldehyde to kill them. They were then rapidly frozen by propane slush in liquid nitrogen and freeze-substituted in acetone containing 2% osmium tetroxide. This method gave clear cell images with high resolution in a...
متن کاملStructome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae determined by freeze-substitution and serial ultrathin-sectioning electron microscopy.
The cell structure has been studied using light and electron microscopies for centuries, and it is assumed that the whole structure is clarified by now. Little quantitative and three-dimensional analysis of cell structure, however, has been undertaken. We have coined a new word, 'structome', by combining 'structure' and '-ome', and defined it as the 'quantitative and three-dimensional structura...
