Electron Microscopy: Precepts and Practice

Electron Microscopy of Fowl Pox Virus

Isolation of Herpetosiphon giganteus and Ultrastructure Analysis by Electron Microscopy

Herpetosiphon giganteus is a filamentous gliding bacterium. Gliding motility is the movement of the cells over surfaces without the aid of flagella. The mechanism responsible for bacterial gliding motility has not been known and there are only a few data on Herpetosiphon giganteus. The aim of this study was to observe the ultrastructure and negative staining of isolated strains of Herpetosiphon...

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...

Precepts and practice: Charles Hastings's vision and reality.

Charles Hastings created the Association at a time when the country was in a state of flux, both political and social. The year 1832 saw the passage of the Great Reform Bill and the Anatomy Act, the foundation of the first provincial university in Durham, and the operation of the first passenger railways. Medical practice was still not fully recognised as a profession and doctors tended to join...

Interaction of lithium and gentamicin in salivary gland by electron microscopy and protein and DNA measurement

  The effects of gentamicin, lithium and combination of these drugs on ultrastructural morphology of rat submandibular glands were studied. Daily intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg of gentamicin which causes chronic salivary gland toxicity, led to a marked decrease in gland's dry weight and total protein concentration but did not affect DNA content. Electron micrograph (EM) of submandibular ...
