    Study Notes

    Antibody reaction & Microscopy

    • The labelled antibody reaction is allowed to proceed with tissue sections.
    • After the antigen-antibody reaction occurs, the excess antibody is washed away.
    • Electrons passed through the specimen are focused by magnetic lenses, and then the image is displayed on a fluorescent screen similar to a TV screen.
    • The image is then photographed.
    • Most cells are visible only under a microscope
    • Cells need a large surface area of plasma membrane to adequately exchange materials.
    • Cell shape varies between different parts of the organism.
    • Microscopes are instruments used for viewing objects too small to be seen with the naked eye.
    • Microscopes are essential tools of cell biologists.
