摘要：

The distribution of calcium ions is demonstrated in synaptic terminals by means of a two-step chemical precipitation of calcium ions in the rat brain. K-oxalate/K-antimonate chemical replacement with simultaneous computerized microwave irradiation was used. This precipitate in nerve cell structures was investigated by computerized electron probe x-ray microanalysis (EDX) and electron energy loss spectroscopic (EELS) imaging. The values obtained by EDX agreed with those of the standard sample and theoretical values of Ca-antimonate. Typical EELS spectra of Ca:L, O:K, and Sb:M were obtained from nerve terminals in the same tissue block as that used for EDX analysis. Excellent net Ca:L and Sb:M EELS digital images were obtained after their background images were subtracted. Calcium ions were distributed in the nerve terminals, synaptic vesicles, mitochondria, and synaptic membranes. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.
