[Abstract] The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a popular model system for studying developmental biology. Here we describe a detailed protocol to high-pressure freeze the C. elegans embryo (either ex vivo after dissection, or within the intact worm) followed by quick freeze substitution. Processed samples are suitable for ultrastructural analysis by conventional electron microscopy (EM) or newer volume EM (vEM) approaches such as Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM). The ultrastructure of cellular features such as the nuclear envelope, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria are well preserved after these experimental procedures and yield accurate 3D models for visualization and analysis (Chang et al., 2020). This protocol was used in the 3D ...
[摘要] [摘要]自由生活的线虫秀丽隐杆线虫是研究发育生物学的流行模型系统。在这里，我们描述了详细的协议，以高压冷冻线虫的胚胎（解剖后离体，或完整的蠕虫内），然后快速冷冻替代。经过处理的样品适合通过常规电子显微镜（EM）或更新的体积EM（vEM）方法（如Focuse d离子束扫描电子显微镜（FIB-SEM））进行超微结构分析。的细胞特征，例如超微结构的NUCL耳信封，染色体，内质网和线粒体保存良好这些实验程序后，并产生精确的三维模型用于可视化和分析（张等人，2020）。在秀丽隐杆线虫合子的前核相遇后，该方案被用于膜和染色体的3D重建（Rahman等，2020）。
