A simple device for staining electron microscopy grids. 1984

M B Håkonsen, and A G Grøthe, and L Jørgensen

A simple holder for electron microscopy grids is described. It consists of a rod covered with dental wax (Ladd, Cat. No. 32165). Multiple slits for holding grids are made in the wax. The rod is attached to a rubber cork that fits into the test tubes filled with staining or rinsing solutions. The device has simplified and standardized the staining procedure, and stain precipitates due to air exposure are avoided.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D013194 Staining and Labeling The marking of biological material with a dye or other reagent for the purpose of identifying and quantitating components of tissues, cells or their extracts. Histological Labeling,Staining,Histological Labelings,Labeling and Staining,Labeling, Histological,Labelings, Histological,Stainings
