Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of biological sample preparation, and particularly relates to a biological electron microscope sample carbonization method. Volatile gas of 0.1 M osmium tetroxide liquid is adopted for conducting fumigation and burning on organic biological samples, so that the organic biological samples are completely carbonized to meet the requirement for scanning electron microscope observation. Biological electron microscope samples manufactured through the method have a better expression result and are environmentally friendly and low in carbon, operation is easy and convenient, the chemical and physical contraction rate of all the samples is small, the appearance structure is almost unchanged, and the fine structure is clear. The method breaks through the bottleneck of manufacturing of some electron microscope samples so that some transmission electron microscope samples and scanning electron microscope samples which can not be manufactured in the prior art can be smoothly manufactured and meet the requirement for electron microscope observation. The method can be used for biological electron microscope sample manufacturing of biological sample tissue, bacteria, organic macromolecule protein bodies or organic macromolecule substances.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biological sample preparation, in particular to a carbonization method for biological electron microscope samples Background technique [0002] Since the birth of the electron microscope, researchers have continuously explored and improved the pre-preparation, sectioning, and staining techniques of biological samples used for electron microscope observation in order to obtain higher-quality real images and experimental results. [0003] Conventional transmission bioelectron microscopy samples are prepared by embedding section method, negative staining method and so on. However, conventional scanning electron microscope sample preparation often adopts a single critical point drying method (critical point instrument freeze-drying method, also known as freeze-drying method). 2ml, fix for 2 hours or longer, rinse 3 times with 0.1M phosphate buffer, 15 minutes each time, then fix with 2ml of 1% osmium tetroxide for 2 h...
