GenericFixationforElectronMicroscopy

Generic Fixation for Electron MicroscopyThe best way to fix a sample for electron microscopy is to follow a procedure developed and proven by others. If this is not possible, this method will produce good fixation for most tissues.Solutions:100 mM PIPES, pH 7.0-7.4 or 50 mM Cacodylate, pH 7.42 mM MgSO40.25 M sucrose1-2.5% glutaraldehyde50 mM Cacodylate, pH 7.4 (note: cacodylate contains arsenic, so handle carefully)1......阅读全文

免疫电镜(Immune-electron-microscopy)原理

(一)  原理 免疫电镜技术是免疫化学技术与电镜技术结合的产物,是在超微结构水平研究和观察抗原、抗体结合定位的一种方法学。它主要分为两大类:一类是免疫凝集电镜技术,即采用抗原抗体凝集反应后,再经负染色直接在电镜下观察;另一类则是免疫电镜定位技术。该项技术是利用带有特殊标记的抗体与相应抗原相结合,在电

透射电子显微镜(Transmission-electron-microscopy,-TEM)

透射电镜具有很高的空间分辩能力,特别适合纳米粉体材料的分析。其特点是样品使用量少,不仅可以获得样品的形貌,颗粒大小,分布以还可以获得特定区域的元素组成及物相结构信息。透射电镜比较适合纳米粉体样品的形貌分析,但颗粒大小应小于300nm,否则电子束就不能透过了。对块体样品的分析,透射电镜一般需要对样品进

Transmission-Electron-Microscope-(TEM)

所谓TEM,就是一个放大镜叠加了一台照相机。这台放大镜的放大倍数比较高,可高达一百万倍。当然,抛开分辨率谈放大倍数都是耍流氓,那么,TEM的分辨率有多高呢?答案是 it depends。一般来说,TEM的分辨率要在1到2个纳米,STEM更高,但是STEM得成像技术类似于SEM,但用的不是二次电子。我

分子态氮被还原成氨和其他含氮化合物的过程。自然界氮(N2 )的固定有两种方式:一种是非生物固氮,即通过闪电、高温放电等固氮,这样形成的氮化物很少;二是生物固氮,即分子态氮在生物体内还原为氨的过程。大气中90%以上的分子态氮都是通过固氮微生物的作用被还原为氨的。生物固氮是固氮微生物的一种特殊的生理功
