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

Download or read book Detection of Mitochondrial Diseases written by F.N. Gellerich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1995, the 1st Colloquium on Mitochondria and Myopathies in Halle/Saale was organized in Halle/Saale by the editors of this focused issue. The meeting took up what might be called an East German tradition: from 1976 to 1990 Andreas Schmidt organized seven clinically orientated Colloquia on Myology in Jena, and from 1974 to 1990 a series of twelve Colloquia on Mitochondria focused on basic research aspects was arranged by Wolfgang Kunz in Magdeburg. At those meetings, East Germany was a mediator between East European, West European and American scientists. In continuation of this tradition, scientists from more than 17 countries working on mitochondria as neurologists, biochemists, geneticists, or as physiologists came to Halle. The title of the colloquium indicated the combination of both basic and clinical mitochondrial research. The most important contributions of this meeting are now published in this focused issue. We thank all authors for their patience and cooperation that have made it possible to produce this unique collection of papers representing current knowledge on detection of mitochondrial causes of diseases. We especially thank Prof. N.S. Dhalla for making it possible to publish these contributions together in this focused issue and also as a hard-cover book.
Download or read book IN THE LIGHT OF THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE IN THE SHADOW OF THE NOBEL PRIZE written by Franck Hugues KARRENBERG and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ENGLISH Nearly ninety and still in surprisingly good condition. Like no other research tool the electron microscope by the brothers Ernst and Helmut Ruska and their brother-in-law Bodo von Borries marks the dawn of modernity. Their avant-garde idea of 1931 to examine under a microscope with electrons has expanded human vision until today. The world's first commercial overmicroscope for discoveries in the world of the smallest followed in Berlin 1939. 1948 the German development and application of overmicroscopy was revived in Düsseldorf. As a key instrument of research it has completed a triumphant march and it has won the attention of the Nobel Prize Committee for awards twice. 1986 the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded for the invention of the Berlin electron microscope. 2017 the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded for the sharp electron-optical imaging of fragile biomolecules through the modern application of low temperature. This book traces the way of electron microscopy along with its inventors from Berlin to Düsseldorf. DEUTSCH Beinahe neunzig und immer noch erstaunlich gut in Form. Wie kein anderes Forschungsmittel markiert das Elektronenmikroskop der Gebrüder Ernst und Helmut Ruska und deren Schwager Bodo von Borries den Aufbruch in die Moderne. Ihre avantgardistische Idee von 1931 mit Elektronen zu mikroskopieren hat bis heute das menschliche Sehvermögen erweitert. In Berlin folgte 1939 das erste kommerzielle Übermikroskop der Welt für eine Entdeckungsreise in die Welt des Kleinsten. 1948 wurde die deutsche Fortentwicklung und Anwendung der Übermikroskopie in Düsseldorf wieder belebt. Es hat als Schlüsselinstrument der Forschung einen Siegeszug ohnegleichen absolviert, und es hat die Aufmerksamkeit des Nobelpreis-Komitees zweimal gewonnen. 1986 wurde der Nobelpreis für Physik für die Erfindung des Berliner Elektronenmikroskops vergeben. 2017 wurde der Nobelpreis für Chemie für die scharfe elektronenoptische Abbildung von fragilen Biomolekülen durch die moderne Anwendung von Tieftemperatur vergeben. Dieses Buch zeichnet in Geleit seiner Erfinder den Weg der Elektronenmikroskopie von Berlin nach Düsseldorf nach.
Download or read book Aberration corrected Imaging In Transmission Electron Microscopy An Introduction 2nd Edition written by Rolf Erni and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aberration-Corrected Imaging in Transmission Electron Microscopy provides an introduction to aberration-corrected atomic-resolution electron microscopy imaging in materials and physical sciences. It covers both the broad beam transmission mode (TEM; transmission electron microscopy) and the scanning transmission mode (STEM; scanning transmission electron microscopy). The book is structured in three parts. The first part introduces the basics of conventional atomic-resolution electron microscopy imaging in TEM and STEM modes. This part also describes limits of conventional electron microscopes and possible artefacts which are caused by the intrinsic lens aberrations that are unavoidable in such instruments. The second part introduces fundamental electron optical concepts and thus provides a brief introduction to electron optics. Based on the first and second parts of the book, the third part focuses on aberration correction; it describes the various aberrations in electron microscopy and introduces the concepts of spherical aberration correctors and advanced aberration correctors, including correctors for chromatic aberration. This part also provides guidelines on how to optimize the imaging conditions for atomic-resolution STEM and TEM imaging.This second edition has been completely revised and updated in order to incorporate the very recent technological and scientific achievements that have been realized since the first edition appeared in 2010.

Download or read book Neurovegetative Transmission Mechanisms written by B. Csillik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a former president of the International Society for Neuro vegetative Research and as a co-editor it is a pleasure to write a short introduction to the present volume which contains the proceedings of an international symposium, held at Tihany, Hungary, June 19-24, 1972, under the auspices of the Society mentioned above. The meeting, which was organized by Professor B. Csillik, Szeged, Hungary, who also acted as president, took place at the Tihany Biological Institute, most beautifully situated at lake Balaton. Such international symposia of the International Society for Neurovegetative Research have been organized at irregular intervals in several different countries. Members of the International Society are, automatically, the members of National Societies for Neuro vegetative Research, active in some European countries and in Japan, as well as individuals taking interest in the aim of the International Society. From its foundation, in 1953, on the goal of the Society has always been the advancement of neurovegetative research as per formed by both, workers in the basic sciences and medical prac titioners doing scientific work. Therefore, symposia of the Inter national Society for Neurovegetative Reseanh are international forums where pure scientific work as well as clinical investigations and clinical experience can be discussed. In this way, the Society has always been trying to bridge the gap between pure and applied science in the medical field which is so often felt to exist, especially at the present time often suffering from overspecialization.
