Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the stereoscopic electron microscopy of
chromosomes. The studies on the higher order structure of chromosomes suggest that …

Stereo electron microscopy was employed to examine thin sections of Chinese hamster
ovary metaphase chromosomes in situ and of chromosomes released from Chinese hamster …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses some methods for preparation of chromatin and
chromosomes for electron microscopy. Analysis of chromatin structure in situ must be done …

Electron micrographs of sections through the heterochromatin (condensed chromosomes) of
erythrocytes from chicken and lamprey reveal alternate equispaced electron-dense and …

Abstract Thin sections (0.1-0.25 micron) of isolated chicken erythrocyte nuclei were
examined at various tilt angles. Stereo pairs of electron micrographs document the parallel …

When observations on the chromosomes were limited to light microscopy, the failure of
cytologists to reach a consistent formulation of chromosome organization much below the …

The mechanism by which homologous chromosomes pair and crossover has been a major
unsolved problem in genetics. Thin section electron microscopy of the synaptonemal …

Electron-microscope tomography has been used to reconstruct isolated, negatively stained
chromatin fibers from Necturus maculosus erythrocytes. Tilt series micrographs from+ 70° to …

The fine structure of metaphase chromosomes and nuclei were studied by scanning electron
microscopy. A coiled-coil structure of chromosomes was suggested by hypotonically …
