Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To increase the sensitivity of imaging with a scanning acoustic microscope, we compared the difference of fixation method. By formalin fixation, cells or tissues shrunk and the speed-of-sound (SOS) and the attenuation-of-sound of fixation areas increased. From 3 min through 1 day of fixation period, the SOS rose accordingly. In routine formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded section, no differences were found among fixation period from 1 day through 3 months. To obtain specific images, colloidal gold fixed antibody or Ni-DAB staining method improved the positive images by increasing SOS. With periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction, positive area showed greater SOS in proportion to the degree of glycosylation. By protease digestion, we could followed the time course of tissue breakdown.
