Microscopy Conference 2023

Structural analyses of the brown algae Ectocarpus

LS 3: Imaging of large volumes and plastic section tomography

Throughout the last two decades different volume scanning electron microscopy (vEM) methods have gained more importance in the life sciences allowing new questions to be answered for samples from cells to organisms and tissues. New developments for hardware and software for transmission as well as scanning electron microscopy have paved the road to new exciting research topics to be addressed. This session will illustrate the diversity of methods and applications of the current volume SEM modalities, namely array tomography (AT), serial block face SEM (SBEM) and focused ion beam SEM (FIB-SEM), as well as plastic tomography focusing on higher resolution. Besides different research topics, the challenges linked to the sample preparation, imaging and data analysis will be covered.

Sample preparation is a crucial and critical step for all following analyses by electron microscopy. Although a whole variety of sample preparation protocols is available, the development and improvement of electron microscopy techniques necessitates adjustment of existing protocols and design ideas. This session will focus on advances in sample preparation for the different life sciences electron microscopy applications.
