Abstract

Immuno-electron microscopy and electron microscopic in situ hybridization are powerful tools to identify the precise subcellular localization of specifi c proteins and RNAs at the ultramicroscopic level. Here we describe detailed procedures for how to detect the precise location of a specifi c target labeled with both fl uorescence and gold particles. Although they have been developed for the analysis of Drosophila ovarian somatic cells, these techniques are suitable for a wide range of biological applications including human, primate, and rodent analysis.
