The suitability of silver nitrate as a stain for scanning electron microscopy was investigated. Accordingly en face preparations of arterial intima were impregnated with silver nitrate, fixed with formalin, and coated with platinum‐palladium alloy. In SEM images, the silver lines surrounding the endothelial cells, and the deposits on the intima appear as white lines or dots on a darker background. Similar results were noted for nitrocellulose‐embedded endothelium. Paraffin sections of kidney…

Identification of nerve fibres in the scanning electron microscope
TLDR
The use of silver as a ‘stain’ for nerve fibres in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) preparations has been investigated and nerve fibre blocks were identified in the same tissue, but different blocks by means of transmission electron microscope studies and by fluoroescence microscopy.

TLDR
The significance of ependymal tanycytes particularly of the third ventricle derives largely from the connections they establish between the ventricular lumen and vasculature of the median eminence, which has led to the suggestion that ependyma cells and cerebrospinal fluid of theThird ventricles may be involved in the regulation of adenohypophysial activity.
Fine structure of “intimal cushions” at branching sites in coronary arteries of vertebrates
TLDR
The branching sites of perfusion-fixed coronary arteries of Sprague-Dawley rat, zebra finch and lizard were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and a peculiar type of cushion was observed in smaller arterioles, suggesting that thistype of cushion is closely associated with the precapillary sphincters.

Staining of biological material for the scanning electron microscope
TLDR
A histochemical technique used in scanning electron microscopy to localize specific areas in biological material and depends on the interaction of complex variables such as the coating material, the accelerating voltage and the use of a primary or secondary electron signal.

TLDR
Although the resolution of about 1000 Å in electron microscopic autoradiography with tritium is far lower than that in common electron microscopic experiments, ultrastructure research has been aided in important instances by this technique.
