Imaging of zebrafish spinal motor nerve roots by transmission electron microscopy technology (CAT#: STEM-MIT-0006-LJX)

Introduction

Spinal motor nerves are essential for relaying information between the central and peripheral nervous systems. Perturbations to cell types that comprise these nerves may impair rapid and efficient transmission of action potentials and alter nerve function. Identifying ultrastructural changes resulting from defects to these cellular components via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can provide valuable insight into nerve function and disease.

Principle

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is to project the accelerated and concentrated electron beam onto a very thin sample, and the electron collides with the atoms in the sample and changes the direction, thus generating the stereo scattering Angle. The size of the scattering Angle is related to the density and thickness of the sample, so the image can be formed with different shades. The image can be enlarged, focused and displayed on imaging devices such as fluorescent screens, film and photosensitive coupling components. The resolution of transmission electron microscope is much higher than that of optical microscope, can reach 0.1~0.3nm, magnification of tens of thousands to millions of times. Therefore, transmission electron microscopy can be used to observe the fine structure of the sample.
