Figure 9-23Two common chemical fixatives used for electron microscopy

The two reactive aldehyde groups of glutaraldehyde enable it to cross-link various types of molecules, forming covalent bonds between them. Osmium tetroxide is reduced by many organic compounds with which it forms cross-linked complexes. It is especially useful for fixing cell membranes, since it reacts with the C=C double bonds present in many fatty acids.

Figure 9.

Photoreceptors of Pacific hagfish, Eptatretus stoutii. A, Schematic, showing four receptor cells (R) with outer segments (OS) protruding into the extracellular space (ES), and making contact with epithelial cells (E). Invaginating synapses are seen at the base: s, synaptic body; ave, agranular vesicles. G, glial cell. B, Outer segment lamellae are often stacked in an orderly manner. Interruptions of the kind marked by the arrow were presumed to be fixation artifacts, as they were seen only with osmium tetroxide and not with formaldehyde-glutaraldehyde. C, Lower power image, showing outer segment (OS) and connecting cilium. It is not clear whether the outer segment lamellae are enclosed by a plasma membrane or not. ES, extracellular space. The inner segment region contains an accumulation of mitochondria, analogous to the ellipsoid. D, Synaptic terminal. Within the terminal of the receptor cell (RC), a synaptic body (SB) is surrounded by vesicles, and makes contact with two post-synaptic processes (P₁, P₁). From Holmberg (57, 58).

Figure 13-31The relationship of late endosomes to other membrane-bounded compartments

(A) Baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells in culture were incubated in a solution containing the enzyme peroxidase for 15 minutes, which was long enough for the peroxidase to be taken up by fluid-phase endocytosis and delivered to late endosomes but not long enough for it to be delivered to lysosomes. After the cells were fixed and exposed to a peroxidase substrate, the product of the enzymatic reaction was made electron dense by fixation with osmium tetroxide. (B) Serial reconstructions of late endosomes (red), ER (yellow), and Golgi apparatus (blue) prepared from electron micrographs, one of which is shown in (A). The reconstruction was drawn from 18 serial thin sections. The nucleus is indicated by N in (A) and is shown in green in (B). (A, from M. Marsh, G. Griffiths, G. Dean, I. Mellman, and A.
