Review: The high-resolution microscope with its associated equipment can serve as a powerful tool for analysing molecular structure, interactions and processes. This new edition covers two main areas: transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) & mass spectroscopy. The TEM section covers microwave-assisted specimen preparation methods for cultured cells and biomedical and plant tissues; cryo-specimen preparation by high pressure freezing and cryo-ultramicrotomy; negative staining and immunogold labelling techniques; and TEM crystallography and cryo-TEM tomography. The SEM section covers conventional-, variable pressure-, environmental- and cryoscanning microscopy techniques. The book is for researchers as well as students.
