This paper deals with isolated, countable items, often termed particles, in three‐dimensional
space. Its substance is the unbiased stereological estimation of the number, height, surface …

Conclusions During the period under review, various new fixatives have been introduced.
The most important of these is glutaraldehyde which has become very widely used. The …

Volume 3 is concerned with electron microscopy of selectively stained molecules, the high
resolution dark-field technique, in-focus phase contrast microscopy, examination of …

Basic Techniques for Transmission Electron Microscopy describes the basic techniques for
transmission electron microscopy. Preparatory procedures for both eukaryotic and …

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an important energy sensor that may be critical in
regulating renal lipid accumulation. To evaluate the role of AMPK in mediating renal lipid …

Fixation for Electron Microscopy presents how to better understand the effects of fixatives on
the molecular structure of the cell. This book attempts to consider each aspect of fixation …

Several common formaldehyde fixative solutions using various buffer systems were
evaluated for use with both light and electron microscopy. Ultrastructural detail was judged …

Cryoimmobilization is regarded as the most reliable method to preserve cellular
ultrastructure for electron microscopic analysis, because it is both fast (milliseconds) and …

Renal hypertrophy in rats with streptozotocin diabetes or after unilateral nephrectomy was
studied by sterological techniques.—After 4 days of diabetes total glomerular volume had …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats, 3.5-5 months old, were used.
