Electron Microscopy of Fowl Pox Virus

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...

Outcome of the First Electron Microscopy Validation Task Force Meeting

This Meeting Review describes the proceedings and conclusions from the inaugural meeting of the Electron Microscopy Validation Task Force organized by the Unified Data Resource for 3DEM (http://www.emdatabank.org) and held at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ on September 28 and 29, 2010. At the workshop, a group of scientists involved in collecting electron microscopy data, using the dat...

Microdiffusion chambers permitting the oil-immersion microscopy of growing microorganisms.

There is an obvious need for a technique whereby the medium surrounding an organism under microscopy can be altered without displacing the organism from the field. For example, we are interested in observing the same organisms before, during, and after exposure to various agents. Our general solution is to confine the organisms within a microchamber separated from the well of a well-slide by a ...

Electron Microscopy of Growing Oocytes of Rana Pipiens

1. In the cytoplasm of oocytes of stage Y(0), prior to the appearance of yolk, one observes a few scattered profiles of endoplasmic reticulum and numerous filamentous mitochondria, usually distributed at random but sometimes clustered. As the nuclear membrane begins to bulge outward, small granules and short rods appear in the perinuclear cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum becomes more promine...
