Embedding in a plastic often supplies the support necessary to successfully section various materials samples especially porousand inhomogeous samples. GMA has been used to embed and section polymer r ...
Procedure: Oxidize sections in 0.4% periodic acid for 30 minutes at 57°C. Wash in running tap water or sodium sulfite solution (to avoid a general pink background). Rinse in three times in distilled w ...
SectioningSectioning is best done with a rotary or sledge microtome such as the JB-4 Microtome. The features to look for are retraction of the specimen on the return stroke and motorized motion of the ...
Procedure: Dry the sections for 2 hours at 37°C on a slide warmer. This must be done whether the slides have been stored at 4°C for some time or just collected. Pretreat the sections with trypsin at 3 ...
Day 1 Step 1: Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets associated with each of the chemicals used in this procedure. Use of rubber gloves lab coat and safety glasses is mandatory.Step 2: On ...
IntroductionSpecimens that are to be examined in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) usually have to be thin dry and contain contrast (usually from a heavy metal stain. One of the easiest ways ...

A few notes on fixation:The usual fixative for paraffin embedded tissues is neutral buffered formalin (NBF). This is equivalent to 4% paraformaldehyde in a buffered solution plus a preservative (metha ...
Deparafinization: The paraffin is removed from the section with xylene. If the tissues are to be stained with an aqueuous solution then the slides must rehydrated in graded ethanol baths. Unless a tim ...

测微尺的使用:测微尺分目镜测微尺和镜台测微尺,两尺配合使用。目镜测微尺是一块圆形玻璃,中心刻有一尺,长5~10mm,分成50~100格。每个所代表的实际长度因不同物镜的放大率和不同镜筒长度而异。镜台测微尺是在一块载玻片的中央,用树胶封固一圆形的侧微尺,长1~2mm,分成100或200格。每格实际长度为0.01mm(10μm)。当用目镜测微尺来测量细胞的大小时,必须先用镜台测微尺核实目镜测微尺每 ...
