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.}, cin = {ICS-8 / PGI-8}, ddc = {570}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)ICS-8-20110106 / I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-8-20110106}, pnm = {552 - Engineering Cell Function (POF3-552)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-552}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000390623600007}, pubmed = {pmid:27866099}, doi = {10.1016/j.micron.2016.11.002}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/821201}, }
