Identification of Glycogen in Electron Micrographs of Thin Tissue Sections
The electron microscopic appearance of glycogen has been studied in the organs of several animal species. Glycogen almost always appears as roughly circular granules from 150 to 400 A in diameter. The intrinsic electron density of glycogen varies from tissue to tissue; however, treatment with lead hydroxide as described by Watson deeply stains the granules. Glycogen pellets were isolated from s...
متن کاملImage processing experiments for computer-based three-dimensional reconstruction of neurones from electron micrographs from serial ultrathin sections.
This study examined an image processing technique that uses a computer to reconstruct a three-dimensional image of neurones from electron micrographs of serial ultrathin sections. The major problems involved were: (a) a distortion of features in electron micrographs; (b) a significant change of cross-section features of neurones in electron micrographs of neighbouring sections; and (c) disagree...
متن کاملPreparation of thin epoxy resin sections from thick sections of paraffin-embedded material.
PROCEDURES The following have been used with success: haematoxylin and eosin, Perls's reaction for ferric iron, the periodic acid-Schiff reaction for carbohydrates, the alcian blue method for acid mucopolysaccharides, the Feulgen reaction for desoxyribonucleic acid, the periodic acid-hexamine silver method, Luxol fast blue for myelin, solochrome cyanine as a general stain, Heidenhain's iron hae...
متن کاملTomographic three-dimensional reconstruction of cilia ultrastructure from thick sections.
We have applied a computer-based tomographic technique to reconstruct the three-dimensional ultrastructure of newt lung cilia. Epon-embedded samples were cut into 0.25-micron-thick sections that were imaged at 1 MV with a high-voltage electron microscope. For the reconstruction shown, a tilt series of 53 micrographs was taken at tilt angles between -54 degrees and +50 degrees. The reconstructio...
متن کاملInterpretations of Electron Micrographs of Single and Serial Sections
A method of securing serial sections for electron microscopy is described. Serial sections present certain anomalies of interpretation of a nature such that a complete and detailed three-dimensional reconstruction of the sectioned tissue cannot be made. These anomalies are discussed, as well as those which have been encountered in the interpretation of single sections. Observations of the follo...
