LR White Flat Embedding of Cells Grown on Coverslips

A Device for Embedding Tissue Culture Preparations Grown on Coverslips

Borysko and Sapranauskas (1) have described a technique for the electron microscope study of thin sections of cells cultured in vitro. Similar studies have been carried out for smear preparations by Gay (2). A modification of the above method has been described by Howatson and Almeida (3) for the study of cells grown in vitro and sectioned in a plane parallel to the glass surface to which the c...

Reflectivity and topography of cells grown on glass-coverslips measured with phase-shifted laser feedback interference microscopy

In spite of the advantages associated with the molecular specificity of fluorescence imaging, there is still a significant need to augment these approaches with label-free imaging. Therefore, we have implemented a form of interference microscopy based upon phase-shifted, laser-feedback interferometry and developed an algorithm that can be used to separate the contribution of the elastically sca...

Microcystin-LR: Effects on Freshwater Catfish Heteropneustes fossilis Prolactin Cells

Background: Previous studies have been reported on the toxicity of Microcystin-LR, which is produced by cyanobacterial growth in fish, such as Heteropneustes fossilis (H. fossilis). However, no studies have been conducted on the effects of Microcystin-LR on the prolactin cells of H. fossilis. Methods: H. fossilis fish were intraperitoneally injected with Microcystin-LR (2.5μg/25g) and sacrif...
