Introduction to Microscopy Flashcards

Blue binds to negatively charged nucleic acids
Pale signifies, euchromatin that theres a lot of expression going on
S is heterochromatic nucleus with small cytoplasm — relatively inactive.
H and E stain
DNA/RNA is blue
Proteins/Amino acids are pink
Hepatocytes

Artifacts
large lipid droplets
All the components of the cell get pushed off to the periphery. Nucleus, golgi, gets pushed off to the side.

Artifacts
small lipid droplets

Answer #3 : 12-18
You are looking at the inside of a vessel and the vessel wall.
Some cells look like they don’t have a nucleus because the cut is such that the nucleus is not included.





PAS is electric purple
H&E is a dull purple
Tall columnar cells

What is Metachromasia

Increasing Magnification also…

Can you increase magnification without increasing resolution?
Yes, digitally

What is TEM?

Light Microscope vs. TEM

What is an SEM

What type of microscopy?

Scanning Electron Microscope
What type of microscopy and what is it scanning

Lipid Bilayer


O2 and H2O and Steroids
Charged will have difficult time getting through
Just a little water can pass through (without aquaporins)
Amino acids, glucose, Chloride, none of them can pass through.
Lipids in the bilayer

Proteins in the Lipid Bilayer

How can we attach proteins to the membrane?

6 Functions/Types of Membrane Proteins

Example of Structural Protein

Example of Enzymes in the membrane

Examples of Linkers in the Membrane

Examples of Recpetors

Example of protein channels in the membrane

Example of Protein Pumps in the Membrane

Movement of Molecules through the membrane

Facilitated Diffusion vs. Active Diffusion


E — peripheral proteins are only attached to membrane via charged interactions.
Ionic detergents disrupt the membrane.
Carbohydrates in the lipid bilayer

Blood, Carbohydrates, and the membrane

Lipid Rafts
