‘ColorEM’ using elemental analysis by energy dispersive x-ray imaging. ColorEM: label-free (P), paint (Os) and labeling DNA (Au) and peptides (Cd) is compatible. (a) Part of an islet of Langerhans immuno-labeled for structures in DNA (10 nm gold) and insulin (QD). (b) Overlay image of Au (red), Cd (green), Os (yellow) and P (blue) allows identification of G4 structures (gold labels) and insulin (Cd). Note the localization of Au to heterochromatin enriched in P, whereas the Cd signal is enclosed within a combination of Os rings and P that likely identifies phospholipid membranes of the vesicles.
