It involves a silylation technique for processing cured resins by converting them from hydrophilic to hydrophobic status, facilitating ultra-thin sectioning. The technique offers better preservation of lipovitellin material in frog (Rana amurensis) yolk platelets, and it shows membrane ultrastructure better than traditional epoxy embedding methods. An early (1982) pseudo-colored TEM image processing technique applied to the micrographs obtained by EM of silylated aminoplastic thin sections revealed the lipovitellin molecules, in relation to the biosynthesis of new membranes in the first cleavage of the egg, with remarkable clarity and explains the lipovitellin molecules in relation to the biosynthesis of new membranes. Because the original article was written in Chinese and published in China before its open policy, many scientists may not be aware of the publication. Thus, in this short review, the essential components of the procedure are presented in English to help guide investigators who might be interested in the use of water-soluble embedding methods for lipid research.","PeriodicalId":74194,"journal":{"name":"Microscopy today","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135715344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combining these two microscopy techniques, “in situ,” into a highly integrated workstation opens unprecedented measurement capabilities at the nanoscale, while simplifying experiment workflows to yield a higher level of data throughput. Unlike SEM, the AFM offers true three-dimensional topography images, something SEM can only provide indirectly. This allows for the characterization of nano-mechanical properties, as well as for magnetic and electrical characterization of samples, which are increasingly of interest in material science, multi-component technologies (that is, solar cell and battery research), and pharmaceutical investigations. On the other hand, the SEM’s wide field-of-view is critical in identifying regions of interest with feature sizes of less than a micron, which are notoriously difficult to find over large spatial scales in conventional AFM systems. In addition, the SEM’s ability to visualize the AFM tip facilitates its navigation to aid the characterization of samples with challenging three-dimensional topographies. In this paper, we describe the major elements of the system design and demonstrate how correlative microscopy can help the characterization of samples with challenging morphologies such as the edge of a razor blade or the nanomechanical analysis of platinum nanopillars.","PeriodicalId":74194,"journal":{"name":"Microscopy today","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135715076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
