Resolution in Electron Microscope Radioautography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental resolution values, half distances (HD), were determined for electron microscope radioautography with (14)C as the source of radioactivity. These were about a factor of 1.5-2 times higher than for tritium. Grain distributions normalized in units of HD were found to fit the "universal" curves previously obtained for tritium.

Electron Microscopic Radioautography of Thin Sections: the Golgi Zone as a Site of Protein Concentration in Pancreatic Acinar Cells
Electron microscopic radioautographs of guinea pig pancreatic exocrine cells were obtained by covering thin sections ( approximately 600 A) of OsO(4)-fixed, methacrylate-embedded tissue with thin layers of Ilford K-5 nuclear research emulsion. After an exposure of 13 days at 4 degrees C., the preparations were photographically processed, stained with uranyl acetate, and examined in an electron ...

Tritiated diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) was used to phosphorylate acetylcholinesterase (AChase) in the motor end plate of mouse sternomastoid muscle, and its distribution within the end plate was evaluated quantitatively by electron microscope radioautography. With the use of emulsion layers whose sensitivity to tritium had been calibrated, the density of AChase in different components of th...

متن کاملProtein Synthesis in the Visual Cells of the Honeybee Drone as Studied with Electron Microscope Radioautography
Protein synthesis was studied in the visual cells of an insect (honeybee drone, Apis mellifera) by electron microscope radioautography. After a single injection of tritiated leucine, the radioactivity first appears in the cytoplasm of the visual cell which contains ribosomes. Later, part of this radioactivity migrates to the rhabdome, the visual cell region which is specialized in light absorpt...
متن کاملDNA SYNTHESIS IN THE RAT ANTERIOR PITUITARY An Electron Microscope Radioautographic Study
The anterior pituitary gland has been classified by Leblond and Walker (1) as an organ of low mitosis and no cell renewal . Although mi oses in the gland are rarely seen (2-4), recent radioautographic studies have shown that thymidine3H is incorporated into rat anterior pituitary nuclei in vivo (5, 6) . We have shown by light microscope radioautography that thymidine-3H is also incorporated int...
