How to image cell adhesion on soft polymers?
Micron 2017 January
Here, we present a method to investigate cell adhesion on soft, non-conducting polymers that are implant candidate materials. Neuronal cells were grown on two elastomers (polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Ecoflex® ) and prepared for electron microscopy. The samples were treated with osmium tetroxide (OsO4 ) and uranylacetate (UrAc). Best results can be achieved when the polymers were coated with a thin iridium layer before the cell culture. This was done to emphasize the usage of soft polymers as supports for implant electrodes. A good contrast and the adhesion of the cells on soft polymers could be visualized.
