Section Staining for Electron Microscopy
Epon epoxy resin was introduced as an embedding medium for biological electron microscopy largely through the independent efforts of Finck (1) and Luft (2). The usual recipe involves three components: Epon 812 resin (Epikote 812, in England), an anhydride hardener, and an accelerator such as DMP-30. Since the combination of Epon with dodecenyl succinic anhydride (DDSA) was thought to produce a ...

متن کاملA Device for Staining Tissue Sections for Electron Microscopy
It has been the experience of this laboratory that the lead hydroxide stain of Watson (1) gives excellent results in increasing contrast in thin sections of tissue, but that the stain is inconvenient to use because on contact with air it forms an insoluble precipitate which contaminates both the stored solution and the sections. 1 Contamination introduced in transferring the solution from the s...
متن کاملPreferential Staining of Nucleic Acid-containing Structures for Electron Microscopy
Oriented fibres of extracted nucleohistone were employed as test material in a study of satisfactory fixation, embedding, and staining methods for structures containing a high proportion of nucleic acid. Fixation in buffered osmium tetroxide solution at pH 6, containing 10(-2)M Ca(++), and embedding in Araldite enabled sections of the fibres to be cut in which the orientation was well preserved...
متن کاملLarge-volume en-bloc staining for electron microscopy-based connectomics
Large-scale connectomics requires dense staining of neuronal tissue blocks for electron microscopy (EM). Here we report a large-volume dense en-bloc EM staining protocol that overcomes the staining gradients, which so far substantially limited the reconstructable volumes in three-dimensional (3D) EM. Our protocol provides densely reconstructable tissue blocks from mouse neocortex sized at least...
