Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Communications Biology that using common chemicals for fixing living cell samples for microscopy studies causes membrane proteins to aggregate. The ...
For histological investigations of biological tissues, i.e. anatomical studies under the microscope, samples are usually fixated to prevent them from decaying. Fixation is typically done by immersing ...
Appreciation of the different methods of tissue handling is a prerequisite to obtaining accurate and biologically relevant tissue-based information. When a tissue sample is removed from its ...

High pressure freezing (HPF) is used to freeze samples in milliseconds without significant ice crystal damage. Chemical fixation at room temperature takes order of magnitude longer because it takes ...
In this process, the particle to be studied is exposed to electron beams under a high-resolution microscope called a transmission electron microscope and the micrographs or images captured are ...
