THE MICROSCOPE PAST: 40 YEARS AGO Glycol Methacrylate, an Embedding Medium to Study the Ultrastructure of Cotton Treated with Swelling Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Glycol methacrylate, a watersoluble monomer, was used for embedding cotton swollen in sodium hydroxide solution, and the potential of this medium in the study of the ultrastructure of the swollen fiber has been indicated by comparing the results with those obtained by the conventional layer-expansion technique employing methyl and butyl methacrylates.

Purpose: This study sought to evaluate the efficiency of glycol methacrylate-embedding medium to detect morphological alterations of human saphenous vein submitted to brief and crescent pressurizations. Methods: Saphenous veins of 20 CABG patients were randomly distributed into four experimental groups (control, 100, 200 and 300 mmHg pressures during 15 seconds). To quantify the percentage of e...
متن کاملAlterations of mouse lung tissue dimensions during processing for morphometry: a comparison of methods.
Preservation of original tissue dimensions is an essential prerequisite for morphometric studies. Shrinkage occurring during tissue processing for histology may severely influence the appearance of structures seen under the microscope and stereological calculations. Therefore, shrinkage has to be avoided so that estimates obtained by application of unbiased stereology are indeed unbiased. The p...

Glycol methacrylate hardened with 10-15% glycerin showed no charging and gave dark contrast in the scanning electron microscope with an acceleration voltage of 25kV and a specimen current of 1x10(-10) A. Using human blood cells, it was shown that this conductively treated resin is a useful mounting substrate to highlight the non-coated microsamples or to obtain their highly contrasted images un...
متن کاملVestopal W: a superior embedding medium for an electron microscope study of human epidermis.
Although the electron microscope has been in use for a relatively short time, it has become apparent that the demands made upon it for the study of the fine structure of the human epidermis and its appendages are becoming more exacting. Several advances which have led to the increased use and dependability of the electron microscope have been the development of more accurate mierotomes for cutt...

Background: The increasing use of nanomaterials and nanoproducts has increased the possibility of contamination of the environment, which may have adverse effects on different organisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silver nanoparticles on histopathology and gill ultrastructure of zebrafish (Danio rerio) under laboratory conditions. Methods: Zebrafish were exposed to ...
