Problems solved by technology

The embedding agent can penetrate into the sample more fully through gradient infiltration and the infiltration process on the decolorization shaker, especially solving the problem that the viscous Spon resin is not easy to infiltrate the sample; through the preparation of a new embedding agent, the hardness of the embedding agent can be compared with that of the sample. The hardness of the sample is closer, so that the embedding agent and the sample polymerize well
The embedding plate is used as the embedding mold, which is more conducive to the preparation of the sample and subsequent slicing. The sealing treatment during Spurr polymerization solves the problem of oxygen absorption of Spurr resin

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of experimental sample processing technologies, relates to insect antenna sample processing methods and particularly relates to a transmission electron microscope processing method for insect antenna samples. The method sequentially comprises the following steps of: (A) preparing fixing liquid; (B) preparing various embedding agents; (C) dissecting, fixing and rinsing; (D) dewatering and soaking; and (E) gathering, so as to obtain the samples. The method has the advantages that the problems of difficulty in fixing liquid soaking and insufficiency in embedding agent soaking during the process of insect antenna transmission processing are solved, finally-obtained sample slices can be relatively flat, the phenomena of sample wrinkling, damaging and losing are greatly reduced, internal structures of the sample slices are all effectively fixed, and subcellular structures are clearly visible.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of experimental sample processing, and relates to a sample processing method of insect antennae, in particular to a transmission electron microscope sample processing method of insect antennae. Background technique [0002] Commercial transmission electron microscopes have played a major role in the life sciences since their general introduction to the market in the late 1980s. Conventional transmission electron microscopy sample preparation technology is also very mature. However, there are still certain technical bottlenecks when studying biological samples with dense tissue and high degree of ossification, such as insect antennae. [0003] There are a large number of sensory organs distributed on the antennae of insects, which are very important sensory organs of insects, and play a key role in important ecological behaviors such as insects looking for mates and host plants, and avoiding predators. Stud...
