Magnification vs. Resolution
• Magnification is the number of times an image's size is enlarged.
• Resolution is a measurement of how well the smallest details of an image can be discerned.
limit of the resolution of a microscope (generally)
- im Lichtmikroskop
- im Elektronenmikroskop
Object that’s less than half the wavelength of the microscope’s illumination source is not visible under that microscope.
Light microscopes use visible light which has a minimum wavelength of 400 nm
-> This means that we will never be able to see any object smaller than approximately 200 nm using a light microscope
The wavelength of electrons is thousand of times shorter than visible light (0.4 nm).
-> This means that we will be able to see objects of approximately 0.2 nm using an EM.
Tissue preparation
die unterschiedlichen Schritte und wozu diese nötig sind
1. Fixation
- Stop all biochemical reactions
- Preserves tissues from decay
- Generally with Aldehydes PFA or GA
2. Dehydration Embedding
- To prepare embedding
- Baths of alcohol to remove the water
- Bath of Xylol to remove alcohol
3. Embedding
- To harden the tissue
- Immersion in melted, paraffin, resin, or plastic
- Hard after cooling, easier to cut
4. Sectioning
- Using a Microtome
- Light microscope (210 µm)
- Electron microscope (40-100 nm)
5. Staining
- Rehydration using a baths of diluted alcohols
- Immersion in staining solutions
Immunostaining (immunfärbung)
Prinzip
Immunostaining is a general term in biochemistry that applies to any use of an antibody-based method to detect a specific protein in a sample
Fluorochrome
Prinzip
Fluorochrome, Fluoreszenzfarbstoffe, Moleküle, die in der Lage sind, eingestrahlte Energie in Form von Fluoreszenzlicht (Fluoreszenz) wieder abzugeben
-> Licht mit einer bestimmten Wellenlänge wird Absoriert und anschliessend wird licht mit einer anderen bestimmten Wellenlänge abgegeben
