Abstract
- Electron microscopy is the gold standard to characterize cellular ultrastructure. However, production of significant morphometrical data is highly limited by acquisition time. Here, we describe a semi-automated high-throughput strategy using single-axis serial section electron tomography to investigate and analyze centriole ultrastructure in bone-marrow-derived, primary human CD138posplasma cells. The protocol comprises steps for EM sample preparation, semi-automated transmission electron microscopy screening, and screening evaluation for cells of interest. Thereafter, we detail tomography acquisition, data reconstruction, and joining.
