Provided are a protective agent for electron microscopic observation in a vacuum which can protect a biological sample in a water-containing state, such as a mammal, a plant tissue or a cultured cell, and a single cell in the living state without deforming it even in a vacuum, a kit using the same, methods for observation, diagnosis, evaluation, and quantification of a sample by an electron microscope, and a sample stage to be used for the observation. The protective agent for electron microscopic observation of the present invention contains a a component to impart the survival environment, a saccharide, and an electrolyte.
本发明提供了一种用于在真空中进行电子显微镜观察的保护剂,该保护剂可以保护含水状态下的生物样品,如哺乳动物、植物组织或培养细胞,以及活体状态下的单细胞,即使在真空中也不会使其变形;还提供了使用该保护剂的试剂盒、通过电子显微镜对样品进行观察、诊断、评估和定量的方法,以及用于观察的样品台。本发明用于电子显微镜观察的保护剂含有一种赋予生存环境的成分、一种糖类和一种电解质。
