Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) offers an unparalleled view of the membrane topography of mammalian cells by using a conventional osmium (OsO4) and ethanol-based tissue preparation. However, conventional SEM methods limit optimal resolution due to ethanol and lipid interactions and interfere with visualization of fluorescent reporter proteins. Therefore, SEM correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) has been hindered by the adverse effects of ethanol and OsO4 on retention of fluorescence signals. To overcome this technological gap in achieving high-resolution SEM and retain fluorescent reporter signals, we developed a freeze-drying method with gaseous nitrogen (FDGN). We demonstrate that FDGN preserves cyto-architecture to allow visualization of detailed membrane topography while retaining fluorescent signals and that FDGN processing can be used in conjunction with a variety of high-resolution imaging systems to enable collection and validation of unique, high-quality data from these approaches. In particular, we show that FDGN coupled with high resolution microscopy provided detailed insight into viral or tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (TEV)-host cell interactions and may aid in designing new approaches to intervene during viral infection or to harness TEVs as therapeutic agents.
