Abstract

A simple holder for electron microscopy grids is described. It consists of a rod covered with dental wax (Ladd, Cat. No. 32165). Multiple slits for holding grids are made in the wax. The rod is attached to a rubber cork that fits into the test tubes filled with staining or rinsing solutions. The device has simplified and standardized the staining procedure, and stain precipitates due to air exposure are avoided.

The synthesis of silica nanospheres doped with polyoxometalates.

The hetero-polyoxometalate (POM) Na13[Eu(SiMoW10O39)2] displayed enhanced luminescence when coordinated to compounds with a common amine functionality. The POM was then doped into silica spheres and was found to be confined to the particle core when added with an amine-based polymer.

Fixation of microsporidian spores for electron microscopy.

Fresh and frozen spores of the microsporidia Nosema apis and Nosema bombi were fixed using various fixatives at different times and temperatures. Paraformaldehyde and technical formaldehyde gave results comparable to or better than glutaraldehyde. Increased fixation temperature improved the fixation of spores from terrestrial hosts. Freezing did not destroy the cytology of the spore.

Spontaneous tail length variation in a Salmonella myovirus.

Salmonella phage SPT-1, a member of the Myoviridae family and a relative of phage O1, produces abnormally long tails with coordinate variations of sheath and core length. The length of abnormal tails varies between 140 and 445 nm.
