Successful results of microwave polymerisation of different epoxy formulations have been reported in the literature. The present study was intended to shorten the time needed for polymerisation of epoxy resin by the use of a microwave technique. A standard double fixation and tissue processing was applied to samples of rat kidney tissue. Tissue samples from the control group were polymerised in a conventional oven at 60 degrees C for 48 h, while tissue from the experimental group was irradiated in a microwave oven, initially at 900 W for 10 min and then at 360 W for another 100 min. During this irradiation, the sealed BEEM capsules were submerged in a water bath, so that the temperature rise was uniform and constant. This resulted in a homogeneous and rapid polymerisation. The cutting properties of the blocks in both groups were similar and no noticeable difference in the quality of the sections was evident when evaluated with TEM. The results showed that the use of a microwave oven reduced the time needed for the polymerisation of Epon blocks without any loss in quality. 相似文献

Since ovarian follicles appear to be randomly oriented with respect to the plane of the section, the method of sectioning and examining follicles at their maximum diameter described here allows direct comparison between oocyte populations of women and small differences can be detected. Re-sectioning for EM allows selected follicles of interest to be examined at a higher resolution. 相似文献

In this work, an alternative to conventional preparation procedures for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of Cryptococcus neoformans was performed. The cells were fixed directly in the agar culture. This method is simpler than others already reported and the morphology of the cells was well preserved. 相似文献

A method has been developed for rapid processing of animal tissues for electron microscopy. The whole process of fixation staining dehydration, infiltration and embedding including polymerization is completed in less than 4 hr. A variety of human and animal tissues such as liver, spleen, muscle, kidney and embryonic chick heart were processed by this method and the results were excellent. The rapid fixation and embedding method is strongly recommended when relatively soft tissues are to be studied. This method is especially useful for examining pathological tissues for rapid diagnostic purposes. 相似文献

Researchers have used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to make contributions to
cell biology for well over 50 years, and TEM continues to be an important technology in
our field. We briefly present for the neophyte the components of a TEM-based study,
beginning with sample preparation through imaging of the samples. We point out the
limitations of TEM and issues to be considered during experimental design. Advanced
electron microscopy techniques are listed as well. Finally, we point potential new users
of TEM to resources to help launch their project.Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been an important technology in cell biology ever
since it was first used in the early 1940s. The most frequently used TEM application in cell
biology entails imaging stained thin sections of plastic-embedded cells by passage of an
electron beam through the sample such that the beam will be absorbed and scattered, producing
contrast and an image (see Term Definition Beem capsule Plastic forms that hold samples in resin during polymerization Blocks (bullets) Polymerized samples in plastic removed from the Beem capsule and ready
