High-resolution imaging of the mouse-hair-cell hair bundle by scanning electron microscopy

Summary: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) allows cell surface imaging at a sub-nanometric resolution. However, the sample requires a specific preparation to sustain the high vacuum of the SEM and be electrically conductive. The sample preparation consists of dissection, fixation, dehydration, meta...
