Fixation, dehydration and embedding of biological specimens / Audrey M. Glauert. Ultramicrotomy / Norma Reid.
The first edition of this book was widely praised as an excellent introduction to electron microscopy for materials scientists, physicists, earth and biological scientists. This completely revised new edition contains expanded coverage of existing topics and much new material. The author presents the subject of electron microscopy in a readable way, open both to those inexperienced in the technique, and also to practising electron microscopists. The coverage has been brought completely up to date, whilst retaining descriptions of early classic techniques. Currently live topics such as computer control of microscopes, energy-filtered imaging, cryo- and environmental microscopy, digital imaging, and high resolution scanning and transmission microscopy are all described. The highly praised case studies of the first edition have been expanded to include some interesting new examples. This indispensable guide to electron microscopy, written by an author with thirty years practical experience, will be invaluable to new and experienced electron microscopists in any area of science and technology.
The advent of electron microscopes has opened up new vistas in the field of science. The ultrastructural morphological evidence offered by electron microscope to substantiate and support other findings is highly rewarding. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the principle and operations of the electron microscope. Numerous electron micrographs have been provided to acquaint the reader with the appearance of highly magnified features seen through the EM. This book would definitely create “a feel for this subject” particularly among those who want to use this technique for their research work.
This book describes the accomplishments of a curious and imaginative scientist, and his endeavours to translate or even to extrapolate scientific insights into the world of art.The science section in this volume concerns studies on S-layers, a very important class of proteins found on the surface of numerous Bacteria and nearly all Archaea. S-layer proteins are one of the most abundant biopolymers on our planet, and assemble into the simplest type of biological membrane. Moreover, they are unique building blocks and patterning elements for the production of complex supramolecular structures and nanoscale devices in nanobiotechnology, molecular nanotechnology, synthetic biology, biomimetics a...

This book covers some of the most novel genetic and genomic concepts in epidemiology, such as geospatial statistics and systems biology from a clinical point of view by explaining molecular applications with accessible human studies. Featuring a comprehensive table of contents, it includes chapters from genomics and epidemiology surveillance to transcriptomics and alternative splicing principles. Across 17 well-organized chapters, this book meets attempt to explain easily to clinicians and students with basic principles of the genetics, genomics, molecular biology and its applications to epidemiology and public health. The text is distinct from other literature on the market because it covers useful genomic tools applied in epidemiology for clinicians who may not be experts in this branch of health science. Principles of Genetics and Molecular Epidemiology demystifies the idea that biomedicine is far from being applied in both epidemiology and clinical practice.
of energids per cell is assumed to equal the number of genetic complements as well as the number of viable cells that eventually may emerge from it without replication of its genetic material. (In eucaryotic cells, polyenergidy occurs in the form of cells containing several nuclei each or as polyploidy, referring to the co-existence of genollles within the boundaries of a single nucleus. Obviously terms such as "poly nucleated" and "polyploid" arc inappropriate for protocaryotic cells.) The number of energids pCI' cell can be subject to variation as a response to certain environmental conditions 01' during certain phases of a developmental cycle. The absence in protocaryotic nuclear bodies of structural components other than DNA markedly affects their structure and morphology. Since the protocaryon essentially is an accumulation of DNA, the amount, mo lecular organization and chemical state of the DNA are basic determinants of nuclear shape and fine structure. Therefore, the organized DNA molecule (the genophor) must be considered the principal subject of any treatise dealing with nuclear cytology in bacteria and Cyanophyceae.
