Book Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols

Download or read book Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols written by M. A. Nasser Hajibagheri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols is designed for the established researcher as a manual for extending knowledge of the field. It is also for the newcomer who wishes to move into the field. A wide range of applications for the examination of cells, tissues, biological macromolecules, molecular structures, and their interactions are discussed. We have tried to gather together methods that we consider to be those most generally appli- ble to current research in both cell and molecular biology. Each chapter c- tains a set of related practical protocols with examples provided by experts who have first-hand knowledge of the techniques they describe. The individual chapters are grouped according to similarities in their specimen preparation and methodology. Methods are presented in detail, in a step-by-step fashion, using reproducible protocols the authors have personally checked. During the last decade, the scientific literature describing the use of colloidal gold as an immunocytochemical marker has increased at an ex- nential rate, and this trend is expected to continue. We have included a large number of variations on the immunogold labeling technique. In both the ne- tive staining and cryo chapters, authors emphasize the “immunological app- cations” in order to correlate as fully as possible with the emphasis on immunogold labeling in the other chapters. Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols commences with the routine preparation of biological material for classical transmission electron microscopy involving tissue fixation, embedding, and sectioning (Chap. 1).

Book Methods of Preparation for Electron Microscopy

Download or read book Methods of Preparation for Electron Microscopy written by David G. Robinson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1939, when the electron optics laboratory of Siemens & Halske Inc. began to manufacture the first electron microscopes, the biological and medical profes sions had an unexpected instrument at their disposal which exceeded the reso lution of the light microscope by more than a hundredfold. The immediate and broad application of this new tool was complicated by the overwhelming prob lems inherent in specimen preparation for the investigation of cellular struc tures. The microtechniques applied in light microscopy were no longer appli cable, since even the thinnest paraffin layers could not be penetrated by electrons. Many competent biological and medical research workers expressed their anxiety that objects in high vacuum would be modified due to complete dehydration and the absorbed electron energy would eventually cause degrada tion to rudimentary carbon backbones. It also seemed questionable as to whether it would be possible to prepare thin sections of approximately 0. 5 11m from heterogeneous biological specimens. Thus one was suddenly in posses sion of a completely unique instrument which, when compared with the light microscope, allowed a 10-100-fold higher resolution, yet a suitable preparation methodology was lacking. This sceptical attitude towards the application of electron microscopy in bi ology and medicine was supported simultaneously by the general opinion of colloid chemists, who postulated that in the submicroscopic region of living structures no stable building blocks existed which could be revealed with this apparatus.

Book Biological Specimen Preparation for Transmission Electron Microscopy

Download or read book Biological Specimen Preparation for Transmission Electron Microscopy written by Audrey M. Glauert and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains all the necessary information and advice for anyone wishing to obtain electron micrographs showing the most accurate ultrastructural detail in thin sections of any type of biological specimen. The guidelines for the choice of preparative methods are based on an extensive survey of current laboratory practice. For the first time, in a textbook of this kind, the molecular events occurring during fixation and embedding are analysed in detail. The reasons for choosing particular specimen preparation methods are explained and guidance is given on how to modify established techniques to suit individual requirements. All the practical methods advocated are clearly described, with accompanying tables and the results obtainable are illustrated with many electron micrographs. Portland Press Series: Practical Methods in Electron Microscopy, Volume 17, Audrey M. Glauert, Editor Originally published in 1999. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book Electron Microscopy of Model Systems

Download or read book Electron Microscopy of Model Systems written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume covers the preparation and analysis of model systems for biological electron microscopy. The volume has chapters about prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic systems that are used as so-called model organisms in modern cell biology. These systems include the most popular systems, such as budding and fission yeast, the roundworm C. elegans, the fly Drosophila, zebrafish, mouse, and Arabidopsis, but also organisms that are less frequently used in cell biology, such as Chlamydomonas, Dictyostelium, Trypanosoma, faltworms, Axolotl and others. In addition, tissues and tissue culture systems are also covered. These systems are used for very diverse areas of cell biology, such as cell division, abscission, intracellular transport, cytoskeletal organization, tissue regeneration and others. Moreover, this issue presents the currently most important methods for the preparation of biological specimens. This volume, however, is not a classic EM methods book. The methods are not the main focus of this issue. The main goal here is to cover the methods in the context of the specific requirements of specimen preparation for each model organism or systems. This will be the first compendium covering the various aspects of sample preparation of very diverse biological systems. - Covers the preparation and analysis of model systems for biological electron microscopy - Includes the most popular systems but also organisms that are less frequently used in cell biology - Presents the currently most important methods for the preparation of biological specimens - First compendium covering the various aspects of sample preparation of very diverse biological systems
