2-2 Electron Microscopy for Bioimaging

Electron Microscopy of Fowl Pox Virus

Principles and Techniques of Electron Microscopy. Biological Applications. Volume 2

In the relatively short time since its introduction, the technique of electron microscopy has tended to acquire an aura of mystique such that the process of specimen preparation for the electron microscope and the production of a micrograph from this may be compared with an inflexible religious ceremony. Dr. Hayat's book, together with the first volume in this series, should do much to dispel t...

Electron microscopy of cells infected with adenovirus type 2.

An electron microscope study of two strains of human adenovirus type 2 revealed the production of intranuclear paracrystalline formations by one of the strains. The crystals were composed of cylindrical tubules 25.0 nm in diameter arranged in a crystalline lattice with a periodicity of 75.0 nm. They appeared at 36 hr postinfection in nuclei which contained viral particles. Prolonged treatment w...

SiO 2 − supported Pt particles studied by electron microscopy

Regularly grown Pt particles supported by amorphous SiO 2 were heated in hydrogen at 873 K after an oxidising treatment. The morphological and structural changes were studied by electron microscopy. Platinum silicides Pt 3Si with L12 (Cu3Au) structure, monoclinic Pt3Si and tetragonal Pt12Si5 were identified after the treatment. The mechanisms of coalescence of the particles and the formation of...

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...
