RESUMO
In the intricate environment of a cell, many studies seek to discover the location of specific events or objects of interest. Advances in microscopy in recent years have allowed for high detail views of specific areas of cells of interest using correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM). While this powerful technique allows for the correlation of a specific area of fluorescence on a confocal microscope with that same area in an electron microscope, it is most often used to study tagged proteins of interest. This method adapts the correlative method for use with antibody labelling. We have shown that some cellular structures are more sensitive than others to this process and that this can be a useful technique for laboratories where tagged proteins or viruses, or dedicated CLEM instruments are not available.
