Popis: The field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) allows imaging resolution clown to 0.5-1.5 nm, With this improved resolution, the cryo-preparation technique (Cryo-FE-SEWI) can now compete with freeze-fracture replication techniques for the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and with standard TEM techniques that use ultra-thin sections of biological tissue after chemical fixation. Here we compare cryo-prepared animal tissue with TEM images of the same biological structures that have been chemically fixed, dehydrated in ethanol, embedded in Epon and ultra-thin sectioned.
