Improved Fixation and Embedding Methods for Electron Microscopy of Alternaria alternata Spores
Attempts were made to improve fixation and embedding methods for electron microscopy of Alternaria alternata spores. Among 16 methods tested, the ultrastructural images were greatly improved by the use of an en bloc alkaline bismuth stain or an osmium tetroxide-potassium ferrocyanide (reduced osmium) fixative. The cellular membranes were highly contrasted even in unstained sections obtained fro...
متن کاملUltrastructural Demonstration of Cytochrome Oxidase Activity by the Nadi Reaction with Osmiophilic Reagents
A new method for the subcellular and cytochemical demonstration of cytochrome oxidase has been developed with the introduction of N-benzyl-p-phenylenediamine (BPDA) and the discovery that indoanilines are osmiophilic. These indoanilines produced upon oxidation of BPDA in the presence of naphthols are highly colored compounds that yield electron-opaque coordination polymers of osmium (osmium bla...
متن کاملExperiments on fixation for electron microscopy
The effect of fixation with a simple solution of osmium tetroxide in distilled water was studied by electron microscopy. Exocrine cells of the pancreas and cells of the proximal tubule of the kidney of the mouse were used as test-objects. Partially prepolymerized methacrylate was used for embedding. There did not appear to be any marked disorganization of the cell inclusions. The appearance of ...
متن کاملHydroxypropyl Methacrylate, a New Water-miscible Embedding Medium for Electron Microscopy
Aldehyde-fixed rat tissues were variously dehydrated and impregnated in water-miscible 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) containing 3 to 20 per cent water and 0.1 per cent alpha,alpha-azobisisobutyronitrile as catalyst for subsequent polymerization with ultraviolet light. Heat polymerization was also effective. Blocks of embedded tissue readily gave ultrathin sections, which required staining...
متن کاملFixation of Neural Tissues for Electron Microscopy by Perfusion with Solutions of Osmium Tetroxide
This paper describes in detail a method for obtaining nearly uniform fixation of the nervous system by vascular perfusion with solutions of osmium tetroxide. Criteria are given for evaluating the degree of success achieved in the preservation of all the cellular components of the nervous system. The method permits analysis of the structural relations between cells at the electron microscopic le...
