Three-dimensional architecture of podocytes revealed by block-face scanning electron microscopy
Block-face imaging is a scanning electron microscopic technique which enables easier acquisition of serial ultrastructural images directly from the surface of resin-embedded biological samples with a similar quality to transmission electron micrographs. In the present study, we analyzed the three-dimensional architecture of podocytes using serial block-face imaging. It was previously believed t...
متن کاملThree-dimensional architecture of cardiomyocytes and connective tissue in human heart revealed by scanning electron microscopy.
Scanning electron microscopy is a useful modality to directly observe the 3-dimensional structures of cells at high resolution. Scanning electron microscopy enables visualization of the surface features of cardiomyocytes after removal of the surrounding connective tissue1 and the connective tissue skeleton after removal of the nonfibrous elements.2 In addition, backscattered electron emission w...
متن کاملSerial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy to Reconstruct Three-Dimensional Tissue Nanostructure
Three-dimensional (3D) structural information on many length scales is of central importance in biological research. Excellent methods exist to obtain structures of molecules at atomic, organelles at electron microscopic, and tissue at light-microscopic resolution. A gap exists, however, when 3D tissue structure needs to be reconstructed over hundreds of micrometers with a resolution sufficient...
متن کاملMorphological process of podocyte development revealed by block-face scanning electron microscopy.
Podocytes present a unique 3D architecture specialized for glomerular filtration. However, several 3D morphological aspects on podocyte development remain partially understood because they are difficult to reveal using conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Here, we adopted serial block-face SEM imaging, a powerful tool for analyzing the 3D cellular ultrastructure, to precisely reveal...
متن کاملMicrotubule organization within mitotic spindles revealed by serial block face scanning electron microscopy and image analysis.
Serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) is a powerful method to analyze cells in 3D. Here, working at the resolution limit of the method, we describe a correlative light-SBF-SEM workflow to resolve microtubules of the mitotic spindle in human cells. We present four examples of uses for this workflow that are not practical by light microscopy and/or transmission electron microsc...
