Feb 18, 2021 · Astrocytic processes have a clear, electron lucent cytoplasm, while oligodendrocytic and microglial processes have a moderately dense cytoplasm, and neurons have a cytoplasm showing intermediate gray levels between astrocytes and the other two glial cells (Peters et al., 1990).
Once dried, specimens are coated with a thin layer of gold or gold-palladium and placed in the microscope. Figure 7.3 Example of a SEM image. A cast of the blood vessels in a rat brain was made using resins purchased from VasQtec, gold sputtered and imaged inside a scanning electron microscope.
The electron microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of beams or rays of light. Living cells cannot be observed using an electron microscope because samples are placed...
