ACCESSORIES

Quantum Dots: Applications in Biology (Methods in Molecular Biology)
by Charles Z Hotz (Editor), Marcel Bruchez (Editor)

Quantum Dots captures many diverse applications enabling utility in biological detection. Organized into five parts, the first two parts cover the use of QDs in imaging fixed and living cells (and tissues). Protocols are included for using QDs in routine (protein and structural cellular labeling), as well as enabling (single receptor trafficking, clinical pathology, correlative microscopy) applications. Part 3 shows early efforts aimed at using QDs in live animals. The final 2 parts demonstrate...

Adhesion Protein Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)
by Amanda S. Coutts (Editor)

The second edition of Adhesion Protein Protocols combines traditional techniques with cutting-edge and novel techniques that can be adapted easily to different molecules and cell types. The topics discussed in this updated second edition include novel techniques for studying cell-cell adhesion, neutrophil chemotaxis, in vitro assays used to study leukocyte migration through monolayers of cultured endothelial cells, and novel techniques to purify pseudopodia from migratory cells. This book also...

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
In this revised and expanded second edition, Electron Microscopy: Methods and Protocols presents the newest technology in electron microscopy, while maintaining the practicality and accessibility of the acclaimed first edition. Like the first edition, this volume provides clear, concise instructions on processing biological specimens and includes discussion on the underlying principles of the majority of the processes presented. Each protocol is presented by experts with years of first-hand experience and in-depth knowledge of the techniques they describe. The Notes section accompanying each protocol will prove invaluable for adapting and troubleshooting protocols. Electron Microscopy: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition, comprises two major areas of electron microscopy-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The TEM area covers several key techniques, including: conventional specimen preparation methods for cultured cells and biomedical and plant tissues; cryospecimen preparation by high-pressure freezing and cryoultramicrotomy negative staining and immunogold labeling techniques; and TEM crystallography and cryo-TEM tomography. The SEM area similarly attends to conventional-, variable pressure-, environmental-, and cryoscanning microscopy techniques, as well as the application of X-ray microanalysis. Protocols for the application of X-ray microanalysis to SEM and mass spectrometry conclude the volume.

A good lab reference book by Sacha De Carlo (Edison, NJ)

4 Stars
November 25, 2007
This book covers pretty much all of the modern techniques used in biological electron microscopy. It emphasizes the availability of many protocols for both Transmission and Scanning EM. Every chapter has a detailed protocol and a full list of accompanying references, in case the reader wants to know more about a specific topic/technique. It is highly recommended for every student, lab tech, or researcher that wants to have an overview of the existing modern techniques or dare trying a new technique. It's format, with its 600+ pages is not very practical as a lab handbook, but the content information of strict high quality. I have more than 10yrs of experience in biological cryo-EM, and I find this book a very useful addition to my ever growing collection.

	Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy of Macromolecular Assemblies: Visualization of Biological Molecules in Their Native State by Joachim Frank (Author) Cryoelectron microscopy of biological molecules is among the hottest growth areas in biophysics and structural biology at present, and Frank is arguably the most distinguished practitioner of this art. CryoEM is likely over the next few years to take over much of the structural approaches currently requiring X-ray crystallography, because one can now get good and finely detailed images of single molecules down to as little as 200,000 MW, covering a substantial share of the molecules of greatest...
