摘要
Correlative imaging of a specific cell with both the light microscope and the electron microscope has proved to be a difficult task, requiring enormous amounts of patience and technical skill. We describe a technique with a high rate of success, which can be used to identify a particular cell in the light microscope and then to embed and thin-section it for electron microscopy. The technique also includes a method to obtain many uninterrupted, thin serial sections for imaging by conventional or energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy, to obtain images for 3D analysis of detail at the suborganelle level.
