Dear all,
I will really appreciate if someone could give me some suggestions to how to embed (fixation, postfixation, which resin) and in particular how to cut Diatoms algae, in order to investigate the plastids ultrastructure by transmission electron microscopy. Because their skeleton is made of silica, the diamond knive will be destroyed for sure, how to overcome this?
Many thanks!!!
Francesco


In today’s fast-paced industrial world, businesses of all sizes are turning to automation to increase productivity, reduce costs, and stay competitive. Among the most innovative advancements in this space are collaborative robots, or cobots—intelligent machines designed to work safely and efficiently alongside human workers. Initially, the cost of acquiring and implementing robotic solutions was prohibitive for many businesses. But as the technology has matured, the market has expanded, and prices have come down significantly. Today, affordable cobots offer a low barrier to entry for companies looking to automate repetitive or hazardous tasks without breaking the bank.
