cell biology – – This includes not only standard visualization of embedded and stained sections but also localization of proteins inside cells through immunolabelling with a resolution around 10 nm For this high-resolution analysis, the application of sample preparation methods that preserve the ultrastructure is essential High-pressure freezing is the cryo-immobilization technique preferred for this kind of characterization Moreover, electron tomography is uniquely suited to obtain 3D reconstructions of cells and their internal structures and, thus, improve the information provided by standard 2D analysis<\/p>\n – Tissue characterization: electron microscopy has a role in the characterization of interactions between cells and with other components inside tissues Moreover, high-resolution surface characterizations of bones, teeth, skin, etc, are typically performed by SEM<\/p>\n – Other biological systems: leaves, flowers, insects, and microorganisms are among the structures that can be topographically characterized using SEM For these systems, as for others with high water content, ESEM has become an important tool due to its ability for surface visualization even in a 100% humidity environment, reducing sample preparation and permitting dynamic analysis through hydration-dehydration cycles Dynamics experiments are useful in Materials Science, food industry, water-oil emulsions characterization, and pharmaceutical quality control<\/p>\n – Biomaterials characterization: electron microscopy plays a double role in biomaterial characterization On one hand, it provides structural and compositional information on the materials engineered to be used inside biological systems, favoring its development On the other hand, it allows us to visualize their interactions Functionalized polymeric and metallic nanoparticles for drug delivery, dental implants, bone plates and cements, and artificial tissues are among the biomaterials that can benefit from the information provided by EM<\/p>\n – Macromolecular complexes characterization: structural biology can benefit from electron microscopy to determine 3D structures of macromolecular complexes – — – –<\/p>\n – Negative staining was typically employed in the past, but it has been the development of cryo-electron microscopy in combination with single particle analysis that has made EM such a very valuable tool for 3D characterization<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.20.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb
