Morphological and molecular characteristics determine the function of biological tissues. Attempts to combine immunofluorescence and electron microscopy invariably compromise the quality of the ultrastructure of tissue sections. We developed NATIVE, a correlated light and electron microscopy approach that preserves ultrastructure while showing the locations of multiple molecular moieties, even deep within tissues. This technique allowed the large-scale 3D reconstruction of a volume of mouse hippocampal CA3 tissue at nanometer resolution.
形态和分子特征决定了生物组织的功能。试图将免疫荧光和电子显微镜结合起来,总是会损害组织切片的超微结构质量。我们开发了 NATIVE,一种相关的光镜和电镜方法,在显示多个分子部分的位置的同时,保留超微结构,甚至在组织深处也是如此。这项技术允许以纳米分辨率对小鼠海马 CA3 组织的一个体积进行大规模的 3D 重建。
