Three dimensional electron microscopy of cellular organelles by serial block face SEM and ET
Novel serial imaging methods using scanning electron microscopy may be used for 3D morphological studies of plastic embedded biological specimens. Serial block face SEM has already proven an undisputable position in 3D-EM studies of tissues, but it has a lot of potential in cell biology applications too. Electron tomography can be used to complement those studies where higher resolution is need...
متن کاملAxon tracking in serial block-face scanning electron microscopy
Electron microscopy is an important modality for the analysis of neuronal structures in neurobiology. We address the problem of tracking axons across large distances in volumes acquired by serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBFSEM). Tracking, for this application, is defined as the segmentation of an axon that spans a volume using similar features between slices. This is a challeng...
متن کاملTowards the imaging of Weibel–Palade body biogenesis by serial block face-scanning electron microscopy
Electron microscopy is used in biological research to study the ultrastructure at high resolution to obtain information on specific cellular processes. Serial block face-scanning electron microscopy is a relatively novel electron microscopy imaging technique that allows three-dimensional characterization of the ultrastructure in both tissues and cells by measuring volumes of thousands of cubic ...
متن کاملSerial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy to Reconstruct Three-Dimensional Tissue Nanostructure
Three-dimensional (3D) structural information on many length scales is of central importance in biological research. Excellent methods exist to obtain structures of molecules at atomic, organelles at electron microscopic, and tissue at light-microscopic resolution. A gap exists, however, when 3D tissue structure needs to be reconstructed over hundreds of micrometers with a resolution sufficient...
متن کاملStaining and embedding of human chromosomes for 3-d serial block-face scanning electron microscopy.
The high-order structure of human chromosomes is an important biological question that is still under investigation. Studies have been done on imaging human mitotic chromosomes using mostly 2-D microscopy methods. To image micron-sized human chromosomes in 3-D, we developed a procedure for preparing samples for serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBFSEM). Polyamine chromosomes are f...
