Electron tomography of thin sections of plastic-embedded biological material provides valuable insights into the organellar organization of cells. With the advent of automated data-acquisition procedures, it has become possible to study radiation-sensitive specimens, such as frozen-hydrated organelles and whole cells. This opens up exciting perspectives for visualizing the molecular organization of the cytoplasm.
对塑料包埋生物材料薄片进行电子断层扫描,能为细胞的细胞器组织提供有价值的见解。随着自动数据采集程序的出现,研究辐射敏感标本(如冷冻水合细胞器和完整细胞)已成为可能。这为可视化细胞质的分子组织开辟了令人兴奋的前景。
