将经过渗透处理的样品包埋起来,70℃加热过夜,即得到包埋好的样品。样品在Reichert超薄切片机中切片,获得70-90nm的切片,该切片经柠檬酸铅溶液和醋酸双氧铀50%乙醇饱和溶液各染色15min,即可在日本JEOL公司的JEM-1230型透射电镜中观察。
1).Double fixation: The specimen was first fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer (pH7.0) for more than 4hours; washed three times in the phosphate buffer, once for 15min; then postfixed with 1% OsO4 in phosphate buffer (pH7.0) for 1hour and washed three times in the phosphate buffer.
2).Dehydration: The specimen was first dehydrated by a graded series of ethanol (50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% and 100%) for about 15 to 20 minutes at each step, transferred to absolute acetone for 20 minutes. 3). Infiltration: The specimen was placed in 1:1 mixture of absolute acetone and the final Spurr resin mixture for 1hour at room temperature, then transferred to 1:3 mixture of absolute acetone and the final resin mixture for 3hours and to final Spurr resin mixture for overnight.
4).Embedding and ultrathin sectioning: Specimen was placed in capsules contained embedding medium and heated at 70℃ for about 9hours. The specimen sections were stained by uranyl acetate and alkaline lead citrate for 15 minutes respectively and observed in TEM of Model JEM-1230.
No.2 负染样品的制作(以细菌为例) Negative staining of bacterium
The bacterium suspension was stained by 1 to 2%solution of phosphotungstic acid (PTA,磷钨酸) in a pH range of 6.5 to 7.0 for 15 to 30 seconds. Then, the bacterium was observed in TEM of Model JEM1230.

SEM需前处理样品制备过程中的注意事项
I 取材:1cm3左右即可,不需要象TEM样品那么小; II脱水:样品较大,脱水时间可适当延长;
III临界点干燥:一般采用液体二氧化碳为置换液,二氧化碳与乙醇或丙酮互溶性较差,而与醋酸异戊酯互溶液性较好。因此,样品脱水后需逐渐过渡到醋酸异戊酯溶液中浸泡,以便置换存留于组织中的脱水剂。
注意:醋酸异戊酯挥发性较强,应在通风橱中操作,废液用密闭容器
装好后丢弃。
IV 金属喷镀:新鲜样品自身就可导电,而经过干燥的生物样品不能导电。这种不导电的样品在SEM中观察时,会产生电荷积累而影响观察稳定性。使样品导电的方法通常是在样品表面喷一层厚度约100埃的金膜。
