Sample fixation for electron microscopy can be done using either chemical fixation or cryofixation. Discover the benefits and drawbacks of each of these methods.
Ultramicrotomy is the process by which a sample is cut into very thin slices or “sections”, usually for imaging by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or relatively new techniques using scanning electron microscopy (See Array tomography in three dimensional scanning electron microscopy for biology). This technique requires a bit of finesse, and this article will help…
Electron microscopy (EM) is a fantastic tool that enables biologists to capture images of their samples at a greater resolution than with a light microscope. There are several types of EM and each of these can provide different information about your sample. The large field of EM is expanding all the time and there are…
