Study of the morphofunctional alterations produced by fenticonazole on strains of Candida albicans by scanning electron microscope technology (CAT#: STEM-MIT-0065-LJX)

Introduction

Canidia Albicans (also known as Candida albicans or Candida albicans) is a kind of fungus, which usually exists in the oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, intestine and vagina of normal people [1]. It is generally small in the normal body and does not cause disease.
Candida albicans will multiply and change its growth form (blastocytic mycelium phase) to invade cells and cause disease only when the immune function and general defense of the body decline or the mutual restriction of normal flora is disregulated.




Principle

Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is another tool to study the surface morphology, which is different from transmission electron microscope and optical microscope. SEM uses extremely narrow electron beams to scan the sample and uses point-by-point imaging to obtain an enlarged image. SEM generates secondary electron emission through the interaction between the electron beam and the sample, and the secondary electron can produce the morphologic image of the sample surface enlargement. SEM can directly utilize the material properties of the sample surface for microscopic imaging.
SEM provides the possibility to study the relationship between the three-dimensional structure of cell or tissue surface and antigen composition. The markers used in scanning electron microscopy should be able to be in the range of scanning electron microscopy, and have good localization ability to cell or tissue antigen. The selection of markers should be based on the purpose of the study. If the volume of the marker cells is large, large markers should be used, while small, easily identifiable markers should be selected to locate the receptor.
