Clara Franzini-Armstrong, Kathryn Loesser (2011) CIL:37384, damselfly, flight muscle cell. CIL. Dataset

Longitudinal and cross sections showing ribbon like myofibrils regularly alternating with layers of mitochondria and SR/T tubules. Dyads are located in a grove of the mitochondrial surface. Negatives aere scanned on nikon 8000 at 4000dpi/6.3 micron scan step size, then reduced in size 4X for upload, for an effective pixel size of 25 micron.

Technical details:
Heads and tail removed, thorax bisected and immersed in 3% glutaraldehyde buffered in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH7.2). Stored at 4C for several days. Muscle dissected out. Rinsed 3Xin buffer, postfixed in 2% PsO4 in buffer, for 1.5 hrs; rinsed 3 times in water, en-block stained in saturated aqueous uranyl acetate, embedded in Spurr. Thin sections stained in uranyl acetate and lead and examined in a Philips 410 Microscope.

纵向及横断面展示类似带状肌原纤维与线粒体层及SR/T管束的规律性交替排列。二联体位于线粒体表面的凹槽中。图像在尼康8000扫描仪上以4000dpi/6.3微米扫描步长进行扫描，然后缩小4倍上传，有效像素尺寸为25微米。

技术细节：去除头部和尾部，将胸部分割并浸泡于0.1M草酸盐缓冲液（pH7.2）中的3%戊二醛缓冲液中。储存于4°C数日。分离肌肉组织，用缓冲液清洗3次，随后在2%磷酸盐氧化酶缓冲液中固定1.5小时；用水清洗3次，然后进行整体染色，使用饱和的醋酸铀水溶液，并嵌入Spurr树脂中。薄片在醋酸铀和铅的染色下进行观察，并在菲利普斯410显微镜下进行考察。
