Dedicated Setup for the Photoconversion of Fluorescent Dyes for Functional Electron Microscopy

Here, we describe a cost-effective setup for targeted photoconversion of fluorescent signals into electron dense ones. This approach has offered invaluable insights in the morphology and function of fine neuronal structures. The technique relies on the localized oxidation of diaminobenzidine (DAB) m...
