From dynamic live cell imaging to 3D ultrastructure: novel integrated methods for high pressure freezing and correlative light-electron microscopy. by Coralie Spiegelhalter, Valérie Tosch, Didier Hentsch, Marc Koch, Pascal Kessler, Yannick Schwab, Jocelyn Laporte

“…BACKGROUND: In cell biology, the study of proteins and organelles requires the combination of different imaging approaches, from live recordings with light microscopy (LM) to electron microscopy (EM). METHODOLOGY: To correlate dynamic events in adherent cells with both ultrastructural and 3D information, we developed a method for cultured cells that combines confocal time-lapse images of GFP-tagged proteins with electron microscopy. …”

Comparative study of pollen morphology and fertility in Pyrus L. species under in situ and ex situ conditions in Greater Caucasus, Azerbaijan by Jafarzadeh Sabina, Iskandar Elman

“…A number of negative changes are observed in the pollen of the vast majority of plants distributed in polluted areas: morphological immaturity or the observation of sterile pollen grains during pollination, a quantitative decrease in the total productivity of pollen, and a decrease in the germination capacity of the pollen tube.For this reason, pollen analysis is considered one of the most reliable and effective methods in environmental quality assessment as the main component of phytoindication. Light microscopy (LM) has been used to study the morphology and fertility characteristics of pollen grains in five species of Rosaceae Juss. …”
