Transmission Electron Microscopy01:15

Transmission Electron Microscopy

6.9K
In 1931, physicist Ernst Ruska—building on the idea that magnetic fields can direct an electron beam just as lenses can direct a beam of light in an optical microscope—developed the first prototype of the electron microscope. This development led to the development of the field of electron microscopy. In the transmission electron microscope (TEM), electrons are produced by a hot tungsten element and accelerated by a potential difference in an electron gun, which gives them up to 400...

Bioavailability Study Design: Single Versus Multiple Dose Studies

218
Bioavailability studies are essential for understanding how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body. These studies assess the extent and rate at which the active pharmaceutical agent becomes available at the site of action. The design of bioavailability studies can involve single-dose or multiple-dose regimens, each with distinct advantages and limitations.Single-dose studies are the preferred approach due to their simplicity and reduced drug exposure for...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Dose Size and Dosing Frequency: Determination Methods

281
Determining the optimal dose size and dosing frequency in pharmacotherapy is crucial for achieving therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing adverse effects. This article explores the methodologies employed in determining these parameters, focusing on their significance and interplay to tailor dosing regimens.Dose Size: Dose size refers to the amount of a drug administered in a single dose. It is determined based on the drug's pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics properties and...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.8K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Determination of Multiple Dosing Parameters: Loading and Maintenance Doses

229
A loading dose is an essential pharmacological strategy to rapidly achieve the target plasma drug concentration necessary for an immediate therapeutic effect. This approach is especially critical for drugs characterized by slow absorption or extended half-lives, where delaying therapeutic plasma levels could compromise treatment outcomes. By administering a loading dose, clinicians ensure a prompt onset of drug action, even for agents with complex pharmacokinetic profiles.Achieving steady-state...

Area of Science:

  • Electron Microscopy
  • Soft-Matter Physics
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Soft-matter specimens in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) often yield low-contrast images due to weak electron scattering.
  • High electron doses required for sufficient signal-to-noise ratio can damage delicate specimens.
  • Existing methods like transport-of-intensity phase reconstruction or absorption-contrast analysis have limitations in dose efficiency and noise amplification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a dose-efficient method for reconstructing the thickness profile of single-material soft-matter specimens.
  • To overcome the limitations of low signal-to-noise ratio and specimen damage in TEM imaging.
  • To leverage defocus aberration for enhanced contrast and accurate thickness profile reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a single defocused transmission electron microscopy image.
  • Applied an algorithm adapted from X-ray imaging, requiring minimal a priori information.
  • Reconstructed the specimen's thickness profile by analyzing variations in absorption and phase contrast.

Main Results:

  • Successfully reconstructed the thickness profile of specimens at very low electron doses.
  • Demonstrated significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to conventional methods.
  • Validated the findings through both computational simulations and experimental data.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a dose-efficient approach for high-resolution imaging of soft-matter specimens.
  • This technique effectively addresses the challenges of low contrast and electron beam-induced damage.
  • The single-defocus image reconstruction method provides a powerful tool for analyzing delicate materials in TEM.
