Transmission Electron Microscopy of Semi-thin Sections of Cyanobacterium-Anacystis nidulans at 160kV

摘要

CONVENTIONALLY TRANSMISSION electron microscopy for biological samples is done with TEM operating at 80-100kV using ultra-thin sections of 70-100 nm. Since higher voltage electron microscopes are not traditionally used for biological samples, semi-thin sections (over 100 nm) are rarely used for electron microscopy. In this report we present our results on use of Transmission Electron microscope at 160 kV to investigate the structural details of Anacystis nidulans cells using semi-thin sections.
