Serial section scanning electron microscopy of adult brain tissue using focused ion beam milling.
Introduction Analyzing the synaptic basis of neuronal circuits within a volume of brain tissue requires electron microscopy. With a resolution capable of seeing the smallest syn-aptic contacts, this method uses different sectioning techniques to produce serial images suitable for seeing the ultrastruc-ture within significant volumes of brain tissue. Sections are cut from a block of tissue, leav...
متن کاملFocussed Ion Beam Milling and Scanning Electron Microscopy of Brain Tissue
This protocol describes how biological samples, like brain tissue, can be imaged in three dimensions using the focussed ion beam/scanning electron microscope (FIB/SEM). The samples are fixed with aldehydes, heavy metal stained using osmium tetroxide and uranyl acetate. They are then dehydrated with alcohol and infiltrated with resin, which is then hardened. Using a light microscope and ultramic...
متن کاملFocused ion beam milling and scanning electron microscopy characterization of polymer+metal hybrids
Hybrid materials were prepared by mixing commercial polymers with micrometric metal powders. The polymer matrix used was low density polyethylene (LDPE). We have used aluminum spheres with the average diameter of 1 μm. The particle concentration in the matrix was varied from 0.5 wt.% to 10 wt.%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the particle dispersion on the surfaces o...
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle Triad Junction Ultrastructure by Focused-Ion-Beam Milling of Muscle and Cryo-Electron Tomography
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has emerged as perhaps the only practical technique for revealing nanometer-level three-dimensional structural details of subcellular macromolecular complexes in their native context, inside the cell. As currently practiced, the specimen should be 0.1- 0.2 microns in thickness to achieve optimal resolution. Thus, application of cryo-ET to intact frozen (vitreo...
متن کاملStructural Cell Biology: Preparing Specimens for Cryo-Electron Tomography Using Focused-Ion-Beam Milling
Cryo-electron microscopy has established itself as a central tool in structural biology, ideally suited to study large macromolecular complexes from in vitro samples. Cryo-electron tomography (CET) can extend the applicability of cryo-electron microscopy to study these complexes in situ. Recent technological advances allow CET to be applied to questions in cell biology that go beyond structural...
