Correlative Chemical Element Imaging in Cells Using Fluorescence Microscopy and Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence
Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) microscopy holds the potential for fundamental breakthroughs in the understanding of biological systems because chemical element distributions can be evidenced at the sub-cellular level (<100 nm) with low detection limits (<100 ng/g). In addition to SXRF, it is also possible to perform X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) which is based on the phot...
متن کاملPreserving elemental content in adherent mammalian cells for analysis by synchrotron‐based x‐ray fluorescence microscopy
Trace metals play important roles in biological function, and x-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) provides a way to quantitatively image their distribution within cells. The faithfulness of these measurements is dependent on proper sample preparation. Using mouse embryonic fibroblast NIH/3T3 cells as an example, we compare various approaches to the preparation of adherent mammalian cells for XF...
متن کاملAnalysis of ER-mitochondria contacts using correlative fluorescence microscopy and soft X-ray tomography of mammalian cells.
Mitochondrial fission is important for organelle transport, quality control and apoptosis. Changes to the fission process can result in a wide variety of neurological diseases. In mammals, mitochondrial fission is executed by the GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1; encoded by DNM1L), which oligomerizes around mitochondria and constricts the organelle. The mitochondrial outer membrane protei...
متن کاملCellular Imaging of Cadmium in Resin Sections of Arbuscular Mycorrhizas Using Synchrotron Micro X-ray Fluorescence
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi function as extended roots and take an active part in plant acquisition of nutrients and also soil pollutants, such as heavy metals. The objective of this study was to establish a method to observe the localization of cadmium (Cd) Kα at subcellular levels using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging with a synchrotron irradiation microbeam in resin-embedded sections ...
متن کاملForensic applications of X-ray fluorescence microscopy
The development of highly efficient X-ray optics has allowed the development of bench-top XRF systems which have high intensity X-ray beams with diameters ranging from 10 micrometres through to a few millimetres. Coupled with integrated high magnification optical cameras, these systems are ideally suited to the needs of the forensic scientist. A microscopic particle from a crime scene can be an...
