Looking at the list of g(x) points, I find (0, 2), so g(0) = 2, and I need now to find f(2). Looking at the list of f(x) points, I find (2, –3), so f(2) = –3. Then: (f o g)(0) = f(g(0)) = f(2) = –3 (ii) The second part works the same way: (f o g)(–1) = f(g(–1)) = f(–2) = 3.
The quality of fixationis influenced by pH and the type of ions present.
The choice of buffer isbased on:
1. thebuffering capacity in the desired pH range with the ability to maintainconstant pH during fixation.
2. theside effects which vary with the tissue type:
a. suitableosmolarity so that cells and organelles neither swell nor shrink duringfixation.
b. suitableionic concentration so that materials are neither extracted nor precipitatedduring fixation.
c. thetoxicity of the buffer.
Criteria of a good buffer:
1. pKa:usually between 6 and 8 desired for biological specimens.
2. Maximumsolubility in water and minimum solubility in all other solvents.
3. Reducedion effects.
4. Dissociationof buffer least influenced by buffer concentration, temperature and ioniccomposition.
5. Resistanceto oxidation (stable).
6. Inexpensiveand easy to prepare.
7. Noreaction with fixation.
Common Buffers
I. PhosphateBuffer (Sorenson's buffer) pH 5.8-8
Advantages:
1. Mostphysiological of common buffers. Mimics certain components of extracellularfluids.
2. Non-toxicto cells.
3. pHchanges little with temperature.
4. Stablefor several weeks at 4 C.
Disadvantages:
1. Precipitatesmore likely to occur during fixation. Tends to form precipitates in presenceof calcium ions. Precipitates uranyl acetate and tends to react with leadsalts.
2. Becomesslowly contaminated with micro-organisms
