Modification of a scanning transmission electron microscope specimen holder for large section viewing. 1979

G R Mackay

A modification of a scanning transmission electron microscope specimen holder which permits full viewing of large plastic embedded tissue sections is discussed. The method for producing one-centimeter diameter "giant" grids is explained and the procedure for sample preparation is outlined. The modification aids the microscopist in his evaluation of tissue structural relationships by providing large areas of tissue for examination and reduces significantly the time required to prepare and examine standard 1-2 mm2 electron microscopy tissue sections. Light and electron microscopic evaluations can be made on the same tissue sections.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
