Processing scarce biological samples for light and transmission electron microscopy.
Light microscopy (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) aim at understanding the relationship structure-function. With advances in biology, isolation and purification of scarce populations of cells or subcellular structures may not lead to enough biological material, for processing for LM and TEM. A protocol for preparation of scarce biological samples is presented. It is based on pre-...
متن کامل3d Transmission Electron Microscopy of Biological Nanomachines
Nature of the specimen: Depending on the nature of each sample, different strategies must be chosen. Thus, if the sample contains a single object, electron tomography should be chosen. This is the case for most cellular organelles (mitochondria, Golgi, etc.). Electron tomography allows 3D reconstruction of a single object after acquisition of tilt series, corresponding to a set of 2D projection...
متن کاملhow to prepare biological samples and live tissues for scanning electron microscopy (sem)
in this article we review the application and procedures involved in scanning electron microscope (sem) to observe biological and live tissues through using sem at high resolution. we discuss practical methods for optimizing tissue preservation to achieve the two principal goals of biological specimen preparation: (a) preserving biological structures as close to their living configuration as po...
متن کاملDirect Observation of Wet Biological Samples by Graphene Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy.
Recent development of liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (TEM) enables the study of specimens in wet ambient conditions within a liquid cell; however, direct structural observation of biological samples in their native solution using TEM is challenging since low-mass biomaterials embedded in a thick liquid layer of the host cell demonstrate low contrast. Furthermore, the integrity of...
متن کاملEnergy-filtered transmission electron microscopy of biological samples on highly transparent carbon nanomembranes.
Ultrathin carbon nanomembranes (CNM) comprising crosslinked biphenyl precursors have been tested as support films for energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) of biological specimens. Due to their high transparency CNM are ideal substrates for electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) of stained and unstained biological samples. Virtually ...
