Electron Microscopy In Microbiology

This practical guide provides detailed descriptions of electron microscopic techniques relevant to all fields of microbiological research. The authors describe all standard techniques required for the structural characterization of unicellular organisms and subcellular components, including enzymes, nucleic acids, and inclusion bodies. Particular attention is given to such techniques as epitope mapping and localization of proteins by antibodies and other marker systems that provide information on the structure and compartmentation of biological macromolecules within the cell.
