SAMPLE PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS

• Transmission electron microscopy using positive and negative staining contrast
• Immuno-electron microscopy using pre-embedding and post-embedding techniques, with electron-dense colloidal gold or peroxidase tracers
• Image analysis for ultrastructural morphometry (linear and area measurements, electron density measurement)
