BIOL 59500 Transmission Electron Microscopy Theory

Session Offered:
Spring, Credit 1.0

Prerequisites:

Consent of instructor required

Description:

Two focus areas.  Students can choose either one of the areas.  First area is a rudimentary introduction to high-resolution electron microscopy of macromolecules.  Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to examine negatively stained samples and to record publicaiton-quality images.  Though some training in cryo-electron microscopy will be given, students will not be sufficiently proficient in this technology without advanced training.  The second area is a practical introduction to preparation of cells and tissues for TEM evaluation of ultrastructure.  Staining, fixation, embedding and sectioning techniques will be covered.  It is expected that students enrolled in this course will need this technique for their reserach in the near future.
