During the last years it was shown that also by means of cryo-ultra-microtomy a good preservation of substructural details of biological material was possible. However the specimen generally was prefixed in these cases with aldehydes.Preparing ultrathin frozen sections of chemically non-prefixed material commonly was linked up to considerable technical and manual expense and the results were not always satisfying. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to carry out cytochemical investigations by means of treating sections of unfixed biological material with aqueous solutions.We therefore tried to overcome these difficulties by preparing yeast cells (S. cerevisiae) in the following manner:

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is an instrument that can be used to image many samples of interest in biology and medicine. Images of polymerized amino acids, polyalanine and polyphenylalanine demonstrate the potential of the AFM for revealing the structure of molecules. Images of the protein fibrinogen which agree with TEM images demonstrate that the AFM can provide topographical data on larger molecules. Finally, images of DNA suggest the AFM may soon provide an easier and faster technique for DNA sequencing.The AFM consists of a microfabricated SiO2 triangular shaped cantilever with a diamond tip affixed at the elbow to act as a probe. The sample is mounted on a electronically driven piezoelectric crystal. It is then placed in contact with the tip and scanned. The topography of the surface causes minute deflections in the 100 μm long cantilever which are detected using an optical lever.

Obat kumur merupakan agens kimiawi berbentuk larutan yang digunakan untuk meningkatkan kesehatan rongga mulut. Berdasarkan komposisinya, obat kumur dikategorikan menjadi tiga jenis, yaitu obat kumur beralkohol, obat kumur bebas alkohol dan obat kumur herbal. Masyarakat lebih memilih obat kumur karena bersifat praktis dan mudah digunakan, namun banyak obat kumur mengandung alkohol beredar di pasaran dan bila digunakan dalam jangka waktu panjang dapat memberikan efek buruk terhadap rongga mulut. Kandungan alkohol dalam obat kumur dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya burning sensation, oral pain dan perubahan warna gigi serta mampu memicu terjadinya kanker mulut. Diharapkan masyarakat dapat lebih memahami efek obat kumur mengandung alkohol terhadap rongga mulut sehingga dapat memilih obat kumur yang aman untuk digunakan.
