冷冻断裂与冷冻蚀刻基础介绍
冷冻断裂是一种将冰冻样本劈裂以露出其内部结构的技术。冷冻蚀刻是指让样本表面的冰在真空中升华,以便露出原本无法观察到的断裂面细节。金属/碳复合镀膜能够实现样本在SEM(块面)或TEM(复型)中的成像,主要用于研究如细胞器、细胞膜,细胞层和乳胶。这项技术传统上用于生物学应用,但现在逐渐在物理学和材料科学中展现出重要意义。近年来,研究人员通过冷冻断裂电子显微镜,尤其是冷冻复型免疫标记(FRIL),对膜蛋…

临界点干燥简要介绍
临界点干燥程序是在SEM应用中对精密样本实施干燥的有效方法。临界点干燥保全了样本的表面结构,否则,当样本从液态变为气态时可能会因为表面张力而导致表面结构受破坏。在过去,临界点干燥是一个耗时的过程,由于手动操作太多造成了样本的重现性较低。许多生物样本通常在干燥前通过固定和脱水制备,干燥后进行金、铂或钯等金属镀膜使其表面导电,这样才能方便开展SEM分析。
