OverviewAI-generated summary
Alex Lagasse's research has primarily focused on electron microscopy and its applications in studying biological structures and materials. Early work investigated the ultrastructure of various biological specimens, including the fat body of the Colorado beetle and the male accessory reproductive glands of the same species. Further studies explored the ultrastructure of ovarian follicle cells in relation to yolk formation and the development of the chick eye, specifically concerning melanin synthesis. Lagasse also examined the dynamical theory of images of microtwins as observed in electron microscopes and investigated organic chemicals as cathodoluminescent dyes using scanning electron microscopy. More recently, publications have revisited electron microscopic observations of melanin synthesis in developing chick eyes. Lagasse has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Angus M. MacNicol, Angela K. Odle, Gwen V. Childs, and Melanie C MacNicol.
