METHOD FOR ADDITIONAL ELECTRON-DENSE CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT OF NUCLEIC ACIDS IN NUCLEUS AND CYTOPLASM ACCOMPANYING HISTOCHEMICAL DETECTION OF SODIUM CATIONS IN CELL AND TISSUE ULTRASTRUCTURES

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine and biology, namely to a method for additional electron-dense contrast enhancement of acid groups of biomolecules accompanying the histochemical detection of sodium cations in pulmonary and tracheal cell and tissue ultrastructures. Substance of the method consists in fixing tissue slices, washing the surface in bidistilled water, placing into a diluted agent containing 4% osmium tetraoxide 1 ml and 2% potassium hexahydroantimonate 8 ml. The tissue slices are stained for 4 hours while stirring strongly and washed in bidistilled water. The tissue slices are further prepared by slicing thinner and dehydrated; the semi-thin and ultrathin slices are produced and studied by a transmission electron microscope, which is followed by computer processing to detect diffuse selective staining of the acid cell ultrastructures and intracellular substance.EFFECT: using the declared method enables the additional electron-dense contrast enhancement of the acid groups of biomolecules accompanying the histochemical detection of sodium cations in the pulmonary and tracheal cell and tissue ultrastructures.5 dwg, 1 ex
