主要方法:
- 修改了戴维森溶液,通过用glyoxal替换甲.
- 补充1-butanol,甲醇,2-mercaptoethanol和tris (2-carboxyethyl) 氨酸化物 (TCEP-HCl),以产生GBMT溶液.
- 使用改性固定剂对老鼠眼球进行浸泡固定,并评估组织形态和免疫光信号.
主要成果:
- 与标准的戴维森溶液相比,GBMT溶液表明眼球组织的形态保存得到了改善.

Two basic types of preparation are used to visualize specimens with a light microscope: wet mounts and fixed specimens.
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...

To be visualized by an electron microscope, either transmission or scanning, biological samples need to be fixed (stabilized) so the electron beam does not destroy them and dried thoroughly (desiccated/dehydrated) so the vacuum does not affect them. Fixation needs to be done as quickly as possible because the sample properties will start changing as soon as it is removed from its natural environment. For example, in a tissue sample, the oxygen levels begin decreasing, causing an altered...
