متن کاملUse of atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy for correlative studies of bacterial capsules.
Bacteria can possess an outermost assembly of polysaccharide molecules, a capsule, which is attached to their cell wall. We have used two complementary, high-resolution microscopy techniques, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), to study bacterial capsules of four different gram-negative bacterial strains: Escherichia coli K30, Pseudomonas aeruginosa FRD1, S...
متن کاملHollow permeable polysiloxane capsules: a novel approach for fabrication, guest encapsulation and morphology studies
Hollow permeable polysiloxane capsules with diameters between 180 and 210 nm were firstly fabricated by consecutively cocondensed methyltrimethoxysilane and dimethyldimethoxysilane monomers onto polydimethylsiloxane and subsequently removing the templated polydimethylsiloxane by exposure to solvents. The morphology of the polymer particles was demonstrated by transmission electron micrographs (...
متن کاملFabrication of hybrid graphene oxide/polyelectrolyte capsules by means of layer-by-layer assembly on erythrocyte cell templates
A novel and facile method was developed to produce hybrid graphene oxide (GO)-polyelectrolyte (PE) capsules using erythrocyte cells as templates. The capsules are easily produced through the layer-by-layer technique using alternating polyelectrolyte layers and GO sheets. The amount of GO and therefore its coverage in the resulting capsules can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the GO d...
متن کاملDemonstration of correlative atomic force and transmission electron microscopy using actin cytoskeleton
In this study, we present a new technique called correlative atomic force and transmission electron microscopy (correlative AFM/TEM) in which a targeted region of a sample can be observed under AFM and TEM. The ultimate goal of developing this new technique is to provide a technical platform to expand the fields of AFM application to complex biological systems such as cell extracts. Recent adva...
