The ultrastructure of cells suspended in physiological fluids or cell culture media can only be studied if the living processes are stopped while the cells remain in suspension. Attachment of living cells to carrier surfaces to facilitate further processing for electron microscopy produces a rapid reorganization of cell structure eradicating most traces of the structures present when the cells were in suspension. The structure of cells in suspension can be immobilized by either chemical fixation or, much faster, by rapid freezing (cryo-immobilization). The fixation speed is particularly important in studies of cell surface reorganization over time. High pressure freezing provides conditions where specimens up to 500μm thick can be frozen in milliseconds without ice crystal damage. This volume is sufficient for cells to remain in suspension until frozen. However, special procedures are needed to assure that the unattached cells are not lost during subsequent processing for LVSEM or HVEM using freeze-substitution or freeze drying. We recently developed such a procedure.

Stationary Creep

The behaviour of the dislocation substructure during the steady stage regime of creep, as well as its contribution to the creep rate, are poorly known. In particular, the stability of the subboundaries has been questioned recently, on the basis of experimental observations |1||2| and theoretical estimates |1||3|. In situ deformation experiments in the high voltage electron microscope are well adapted to the direct observation of this behaviour. We report here recent results on dislocation and subboundary properties during stationary creep of an aluminium polycristal at 200°C.During a macroscopic creep test at 200°C, a cell substructure is developed with an average cell size of a few microns. Microsamples are cut out of these specimens |4| with the same tensile axis, and then further deformed in the microscope at the same temperature and stain rate. At 1 MeV, one or a few cells can be observed in the foil thickness |5|. Low electron fluxes and an image intensifier were used to reduce radiation damage effects.

The aim of ultrastructural investigation is to analyze cell architecture and relate a functional role(s) to cell components. It is known that aqueous chemical fixation requires seconds to minutes to penetrate and stabilize cell structure which may result in structural artifacts. The use of ultralow temperatures to fix and prepare specimens, however, leads to a much improved preservation of the cell’s living state. A critical limitation of conventional cryofixation methods (i.e., propane-jet freezing, cold-metal slamming, plunge-freezing) is that only a 10 to 40 μm thick surface layer of cells can be frozen without distorting ice crystal formation. This problem can be allayed by freezing samples under about 2100 bar of hydrostatic pressure which suppresses the formation of ice nuclei and their rate of growth. Thus, 0.6 mm thick samples with a total volume of 1 mm3 can be frozen without ice crystal damage. The purpose of this study is to describe the cellular details and identify potential artifacts in root tissue of barley (Hordeum vulgari L.) and leaf tissue of brome grass (Bromus mollis L.) fixed and prepared by high-pressure freezing (HPF) and freeze substitution (FS) techniques.

Before And After

For research in cell differentiation and in vitro toxicology it is essential to provide a natural state of cell structure as a benchmark for interpreting results. Hypothermosol (Cryomedical Sciences, Rockville, MD) has proven useful in insuring the viability of synthetic human epidermis during cold-storage and in maintaining the epidermis’ ability to continue to differentiate following warming.Human epidermal equivalent, EpiDerm (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, MA) consisting of fully differentiated stratified human epidermal cells were grown on a microporous membrane. EpiDerm samples were fixed before and after cold-storage (4°C) for 5 days in Hypothermosol or skin culture media (MatTek Corporation) and allowed to recover for 7 days at 37°C. EpiDerm samples were fixed 1 hour in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in sodium cacodylate buffer (pH 7.2). A secondary fixation with 0.2% ruthenium tetroxide (Polysciences, Inc., Warrington, PA) in sodium cacodylate was carried out for 3 hours at 4°C. Other samples were similarly fixed, but with 1% Osmium tetroxide in place of ruthenium tetroxide. Samples were dehydrated through a graded acetone series, infiltrated with Spurrs resin (Polysciences Inc.) and polymerized at 70°C.

Rhodamine Phalloidin

Microinjection of fluorescent probes into living plant cells reveals new aspects of cell structure and function. Microtubules and actin filaments are dynamic components of the cytoskeleton and are involved in cell growth, division and intracellular transport. To date, cytoskeletal probes used in microinjection studies have included rhodamine-phalloidin for labelling actin filaments and fluorescently labelled animal tubulin for incorporation into microtubules. From a recent study of Tradescantia stamen hair cells it appears that actin may have a role in defining the plane of cell division. Unlike microtubules, actin is present in the cell cortex and delimits the division site throughout mitosis. Herein, I shall describe actin, its arrangement and putative role in cell plate placement, in another material, living cells of Tradescantia leaf epidermis.The epidermis is peeled from the abaxial surface of young leaves usually without disruption to cytoplasmic streaming or cell division. The peel is stuck to the base of a well slide using 0.1% polyethylenimine and bathed in a solution of 1% mannitol +/− 1 mM probenecid.

A series of investigations have been conducted into the nature and origin of the dislocation cell structure. R.J.Klassen calculated that the dislocation cell limiting size in pure ferrite matrix is about 0.4 μm. M.N.Bassion estimated the size of dislocation cell in deformed ferrite of HSLA steels to be of the same order.In this paper, TEM observation has been concentrated on the interaction of fine carbide precipitates with dislocation cell structure in deformed Fe-C-V (0.05%C, 0.13% and 0.57%V) and Fe-C-Nb (0.07 %C and 0.04%Nb) alloys and compared with that in Fe-C (0.05%). Specimens were austenitized at 1500 “C/20 min and followed by isothermal treatment at 750 °C and 800 “C for 20, 40 and 120 minutes . The carbide particle sizes in these steels are from 9 to 86nm measured from carbon extraction replicas. Specimens for TEM were cut from differently deformed areas of tensile specimens deformed at room temperture. The thin foils were jet electropolished at -20 C in a solution of 10% perchloric acid and 90% ethanol. The TEM observation was carried out in JEM 100CX , EM420 at 100kv and JEM 2000FX at 200kv.
