A Manual of Applied Techniques for Biological Electron Microscopy

by Michael J. Dykstra

Overview

This easy-to-follow manual describes tested procedures used to prepare biological samples for scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as methods for cyhemistry, immunocyhemistry, and scientific photography. The work is structured to clearly define testing objectives, necessary materials, procedural steps, and expected results; a list of references and trouble shooting techniques round out the text.

Editorial Reviews

A cookbook of techniques used routinely in a service-oriented electron microscopy laboratory on a broad variety of tissue and cell samples. For each technique, describes the problem to be addressed, the formulation of stock solutions, specific procedural steps, and the results expected.
