Processing for resin sectioning
Protocol:1. Fix (4% paraformaldehyde, 2.5% glutaradehyde)
4hrs-o/n2. Wash and quench (50mM glycine) 5
min3. 1% OsO4
1.5hrs4. 5% alcoholic uranyl acetate
1.5hrs5. Dehydrate (50%, 70%, 90%, 100% ethanol, 100% acetone)
1.5hrs6. Infiltrate (araldite resin; 30:70, 70:30, 100%) 4
hrs7. Polymerise 60ºC o/n
Sample:eg. cells in 1 x 6cm dish. Final pellet ≤1mm3
