Lecture 35 : Electron Microscopy-II

 

Laboratory experiment 35.2: Study the co-localization of two proteins in eukaryotic cell using TEM.
Material and equipment:

Obserrvation: A typical TEM image is given in the Figure 35.3. As you can observe that cell shows black dots with two different diameters (5 or 15nm) which indicate the presence of two proteins in the eukaryotic cell.
