Problems in Methacrylate Embedding for Electron Microscopy
During an investigation of the effect of ischemia on striated muscle as seen with the electron microscope it became evident that all degrees of disorientation and destruction of tissues were taking place, and it seemed likely that much of the damage occurred during the embedding process. Such damage made it difficult to proceed with experiments in which comparison of normal tissue with any path...
متن کاملMicrowave irradiation for shortening the processing time of samples of flagellated bacteria for scanning electron microscopy.
Microwave irradiation (MWI) has been applied to the development of rapid methods to process biological samples for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this paper we propose two simple and quick techniques for processing bacteria (Proteus mirabilis and Vibrio mimicus) for SEM using MWI. In the simplest methodology, the bacteria were placed on a cover-glass, air-dried, and submitted to conduct...
متن کاملImmunolabeling of thin sections of Drosophila tissues for transmission electron microscopy.
The main advantage of electron microscopy (EM) for immunolabeling is resolution, but there is also another aspect that is often overlooked. For many investigators, the definitive image of an organelle is the one generated by EM. This is especially true for membranous organelles, with the possible exception of the nucleus and plant vacuoles. For example, references to the Golgi apparatus, smooth...
متن کاملLowicryl K4M embedding of brain tissue for immunogold electron microscopy.
We present methods for embedding brain tissue in Lowicryl K4M embedding medium and localizing antigens using postembedding immunogold techniques. After perfusion fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.1% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer, blocks of rat brain were placed in 2% aqueous uranyl acetate for 1 hour, dehydrated in 50%, 70%, and 95% ethanol, infiltrated with Lowicryl/ethanol m...
متن کاملEmbedding Aid for Coverslip Mounts in Electron Microscopy
Borysko and Sapranauskas (1) and independently Gay (2) have described a method of making coverslip preparations of biological material from which small selected cell groups or single cells may be transferred to methacrylate for sectioning for electron microscopy. In both procedures it is suggested that the selected material viewed under light and phase microscopy be covered with a capsule conta...
