Abstract

Electron tomography is a new technique for obtaining detailed 3D structures of both biological and non-biological samples relevant to the life and biomedical sciences. Electron tomography is an extension of the traditional transmission electron microscopy. Different protocols concerning the 3D electron tomography, Conventional TEM, Immuno-electron microscopy and cryoEM will be covered. With these methods, relatively large volumes of resinembedded biological structures can be analyzed at resolutions of a few nm within a reasonable expenditure of time. Therefore, this work could support the collaborative research activities of many investigators from various departments in the faculty of veterinary medicine whose work has already had a major impact in the areas of biological, life and physical sciences.
