Stem cells as what it is widely known are the first and original cells in all multi cellular organisms. They have this amazing ability to retain their capacity to renew themselves through mitotic division and can separate themselves into a diverse range of specialized cell types. And speaking of specialized cells, stem cells can be grown and transformed just like it with a characteristic consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture. Based on a research, steam cells are divided into three broad categories. The first category is the embryonic stem cells which are derived from blastocysts, another kind is the adult stem cell which is mostly found in adult tissues and the other one can be found in the umbilical cord which is known as the cord blood stem cells.
Based on a study in recent years, scientist have discovered a wide range of stem cells that have a unique capabilities to self renew, grow indefinitely, and develop into multiple types of cells and tissues. They even found out that various types of stem cells exist but they are all are found in very small populations in the human body. Statistically speaking, 1 stem cell in 100,000 cells in circulating blood and when viewed in a microscope they found out that they just look like any other cell in the tissue. This
microscopy technique is what we call stem cell microscopy. This method uses the aid of a microscope to view the components of stem cells and study its capabilities of curing inoperable diseases. A steam cell microscope creates a method which employs to create visible and lucid images of any formation or feature that is too miniscule to be observed by a naked eye. This microscopy device includes an optical microscope, scanning probe microscopes and the electron microscopes. All these three equipments come with reflection, diffraction or refraction of the radiation that occurs on the object which they are studying.
An electron microscope for example utilizes a beam of highly
energetic electrons to examine objects on a very fine scale. It has a magnification and resolving power that can go up to about two million times allowing it to see smaller objects and greater detail of the specimen. With this type of microscope the user are allowed to examine the topography of a specimen, its morphology, composition and a number of things essential to the research.
