A

H&E

28
Q

3 steps in tissue processing

A

Fixation

Dehydration

Embedding

29
Q

tool used to cut extremely thin slices of material, known as sections 2-50 microns

A

Microtomes

30
Q

What are reasons to freeze tissue samples?

A

When you want rapid results

When you need to know if a tissue is cancerous

31
Q

Which has a higher resoluton electron or light microscopes?

A

Electron

32
Q

In what ways did Normarski phase contrast microscopy improve upon the phase contrast microscopy discovered in 1934?

A

It allows a greater depth of focus so one can visualize thicker specimens/ cells

Uses a special type of optical prism to produce a much improved pseudo 3D shadow image

33
Q

PAS stains carbohydrate macromolecules mainly found where?

A

Connective tissues, mucus, the glycocalyx and basement membrane thickening.

34
Q

Most common stains used with Transmission Electron Microscopy

A

uranyl acetate, lead citrate (heavy metal atoms reflect electrons in the beam)

35
Q

Maximum magnification for light microscopes

36
Q

What type of particles are convenient markers for direct immunocytochemistry at the electron microscopic level?

A

Gold

37
Q

Which type of immunocytochemistry is more specific?

A

Indirect

38
Q

What are the steps of autoradiography?

A
  1. Deliver a radioactive precursor compund to the cells of tisse
  2. The tissue sections are prepared and covered with photograhic emulsion. The slides are kept in light-proof boxes
  3. After and adequate exposure time they are developed photographically and examined
  4. The silver bromide crystals present in the photographic emulsion are hit by radiation. They are transformed into small black granules of metallic silver, thus revealing the existence of radioactivity in the tissue.
39
Q

Example of specimen that is viewed using a scanning electron microscope?

A

Nuclear pores

40
Q

Which microscope is used to produce high- contrast images of transparent specimens?

A

Phase contrast microscope

41
Q

What are two common components of Nissl stain?

A

Toluidine blue and cresyl violet

42
Q

Characteristics of Formulin

A

Crosslined lysine residues

Does not alter 3D structure

Does not react well with lipids, so poor fixative of cell membranes

43
Q

Toluidine blue has _____________ properties.

A

Metachromatic

44
Q

In the PAS reaction, periodic acid forms __________ groups in sugars of ___________ by an __________ process.

A

Aldehyde; glycoproteins; oxidation

45
Q

The most commonly used fixative is ___________

A

Formulin

46
Q

What step of tissue processing permenantly preserves the tissue structure for subsequent treatment?

A

Fixation

47
Q

What kind of knofe is used for ultramicrotome?

A

diamond knives

48
Q

The cresyl Violet method uses basic ________ dye to stain ________ blue, and is used to highlight special features of ___________

A

aniline; RNA; neurons

49
Q

Describe the Perl’s reaction for iron.

A
  1. Tissue sections are treated with hydrochloric acid to denature the binding proteins of the hemosiderin molecule, which is an iron storage complex, and thereby release ferric (3+) ions.
  2. Potassium ferrocyanide is then introduced. The ferric ions combine with this solution, resulting in the formation of ferric ferrocyanide, which is an insoluble bright blue pigment.
50
Q

In which type of microscopy are heavy metals sprayed on the specimen to give a stronger image?

A

Scanning Electron Microscope

51
Q

___________ are stains used in electon microscopes.

A

Heavy metals

52
Q

Toluidine blue can stain sections that _________ stain cannot

A

Hemotoxylin and Eosin

53
Q

Which diseases may be diagnosed the Perl’s reaction for iron?

A

Hereditary hemochromatosis and Hemosiderosis
