Dyeing reagent and method for obtaining microscopic structure of large seaweed with section fiber small filaments
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biological sample preparation methods, in particular to a staining reagent and a method for obtaining a microscopic structure of a large-scale seaweed with a section fiber small wire shape.
Background
Microstructural studies, a necessary means to reveal life phenomena and processes, have made many progress since the netherlands scientist hook invention microscope for over 300 years, but the research in this field is often affected by the quality of the tabletting technique during sample processing.
The kelp is a large-scale lower plant in the ocean, mainly species in the order CERAMIALES of Mesona, including Mesona Ceramiun, synechocystis Centroceras, dunaliella Polysiphonia, neurospora Neosiphonia, and Synechocystis Herposiphonia. Microstructure features such as cross section observation of algae, origin of tetrad sporangia, origin of pseudoroot, development of cortex and the like are important features for accurately identifying species, classifying species, carrying out vital activities and the like on the species. However, these species are too fine, with widths ranging from tens of microns to millimeters, and it is difficult to obtain clear and diverse microstructural features. In the past, the scholars in this field have mainly used paraffin sections to obtain their microstructural features. However, the method has obvious defects that 1) paraffin slicing is required to be subjected to multiple procedures of fixing, washing, dehydrating, transparentizing, wax dipping, embedding, slicing, spreading and baking, the operation is complex, time and labor are wasted, 2) paraffin slicing is required to be subjected to instruments such as a dehydrator, an embedding machine and a slicing machine, various reagents are required in the above operation procedures, the input cost is high, 3) certain algae have a width of only forty microns and are very thin, even if the paraffin slicing is difficult to cut out an ideal microstructure, 4) the microstructure obtained by the paraffin slicing is independent cross sections, the integrity is not possessed, the continuous change of a section of algae microstructure cannot be visually embodied, and 5) the paraffin slicing cannot obtain the cortex structural characteristics. There are also methods for dyeing and tabletting which are often used by students, but only cortical structures are often obtained, further clear and complete key microstructures cannot be obtained due to the defects of the formulation, and important features in the structures cannot be highlighted by dyeing, for example, in the prior art, nodes connected with pits and intercellular continuous filaments in seaweed structures cannot be observed by a dyeing method.
How to quickly obtain the microstructure of the kelp with the section fiber and the thread is obviously a scientific problem.
