Description

Anna Richert and co-authors set out tuned lab protocols for electron microscopy of cultured cells in a 2026 methods paper. Pinpointing proteins inside cells at nanometer scale guides work on gene activity, signaling, and cell traffic.

Their post-embedding immunogold routine labels one or more proteins in cells grown on plastic coverslips, whether the cells stick or float. Resin embedding is arranged so thin slices cut cleanly and collect well. The routine balances keeping cell structure crisp against keeping target sites readable by antibodies. A companion procedure covers plain ultrastructure study when labeling fails. Protein traits and cell compartment still sway the best settings.
