Immune electron microscopy

Electron Microscopy (TEM and SEM)

We've talked a lot about light microscopy, but this technique has inherent limitations in resolution and magnification. The next paradigm in microscopy that emerged in the middle of the 20th century was electron microscopy. Because electrons have much shorter wavelengths than photons, elec

Types of Immune Cells Part 1: Immune Cell Function

Ok, we are ready to investigate the immune system! So where do we start? Rather than starting on the big objects, like the organs in the lymphatic system, the best way to dive in is to briefly discuss the different types of cells that comprise the immune system, and talk a little bit about

DIY Scanning Electron Microscope - Overview

Today, I finally produced an image with my DIY scanning electron microscope. I've spent the last few months working on this project, and am encouraged by today's success. There is still a lot of work left to do in making the image higher resolution, and eliminating sources of noise, howe

Barrier Surfaces of the Innate Immune System

The first aspect of the innate immune system we will examine is the many barrier surfaces, such as the skin, as well as the linings of the respiratory tract and digestive tract. These cells have to constantly prevent infection from the environment, so how do they do this? We've also probab

Bacterial cell walls, antibiotics and the origins of life

How do some bacteria fly under the radar of antibiotics and our immune system? The cell wall is found in almost all bacteria and is the target for our best antibiotics. However, many bacteria can switch into L-form without a cell wall and become completely resistant to many antibiotics. In
