Black Shell - Electron Microscopes

For the first time in my life, I have seen the REAL electron microscope.
Deep in the basement of Anatomy Building of UCL, we had a little tour in the microscope section...

Here it goes!

This is a cancer cell which is about to die. The cell structure is being broken down.
Taken with a SEM(Scanning electron microscope).

We didn't know what this is at first... After a heated discussion, we reached the agreement that the mars-surface like thing is most likely to be a fine piece of dust......

This is a slice of cancer cell. The big moon-like nucleus is undergoing death procedure by expanding itself. The little bubble-like structures underneath the nucleus are sections of broken internal organelles. Taken with a TEM(transmission electron micoscope).

The section between three Schwann cells surrounding the Axon of neuron cells.

Structure of a mitocondria.

I had a SEM in my lab, although I wasn't trained in its operation. Very impressive pieces of kit. The TEM is much harder to use though, since you have to slice the sample very thinly to measure.
