Substructure of Flagellar Tubules

The 9 + 2 array of ciliary and fiagellar tubules was described in the early days of electron micros-copy when osmium tetroxide was the standard fixative. Cytoplasmic microtubules, which are not generally in evidence after osmium tetroxide fixation, were rarely seen until after the advent of aldehyde fixatives. In some glutaraldehyde-OsO4-fixed material, flagellar and ciliary tubules are

Artifactual Localization of Ferritin in the Ciliary Epithelium in Vitro

The accumulation of ferritin by the ciliary epithelium of the adult albino rabbit has been studied by electron microscopy. The experiments have been carried out under in vitro conditions, such that any uptake observed should be the result of passive diffusion of the tracerparticles rather than the product of active metabolic processes. The cells were fixed in osmium tetroxide and embedded in Ar...

The Effects of Reserpine and Hypoxia on the Amine-storing Granules of the Hamster Carotid Body

The carotid bodies from control, reserpine-treated, and hypoxia-treated hamsters were fixed with phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide, s-Collidine-buffered osmium tetroxide, or phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde followed by potassium dichromate incubation. Following glutaraldehyde-osmium tetroxide fixation no differences in density or population of the electron-opaque granules ...

[Fine structural demonstration of alkaline phosphatase activity].

For the application of Glenner's tetrazolium method to the electron histochemical demonstration of monoamine oxidase some in vitro examination were carried out with special referance to indentification and efflux of formazan and intracellular localization of the enzyme in the locus coeruleus of the rat brain was studied. The results of examinations in vitro are summerized as follows: 1. Formaza...

Ultrastructural Localization of Dialyzed Iron-reactive Mucosubstance in Rabbit Heterophils, Basophils, and Eosinophils

For ultrastructural localization of acid mucosubstances in rabbit granulocytes, bone marrow and buffy coat specimens were fixed with formalin, glutaraldehyde, or osmium tetroxide, sectioned at 40 micro, and stained with the Rinehart and Abul-Haj solution of dialyzed iron (DI). Heterophils revealed DI staining on the outer surface of the plasma membrane, in the Golgi complex involved in primary ...
