Localization and identification of elements in mycorrhizas Advantages and limits of electron energy loss spectroscopy

Abstract:

Deposition of nutritive or deleterious elements in the hyphal mantle of ectomycorrhizas is of considerable interest in respect to storage or detoxification facilities of this organ. Electron energy loss spectroscopy and imaging was applied at the TEM902 Zeiss to investigate ectomycorrhizas after different levels of elevated aluminium, calcium, nitrogen or cadmium availability. Results obtained by electron energy loss spectroscopy and imaging are critically valued and advantages as well as apparent limits of the technique in use of biological specimen discussed. © Société botanique de France 1994.
