Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) can infer molecular, functional and dynamic information to ultrastructure by linking information of different imaging modalities. One of the main challenges, especially in 3D-CLEM, is the accurate registration of fluorescent signals to electron microscopy (EM). Here, we present fluorescent BSA-gold (fBSA-Au), a bimodal endocytic tracer as fiducial marker for 2D and 3D CLEM applications. fBSA-Au consists of colloidal gold (Au) particles stabilized with fluorescent bovine serum albumin (BSA). The conjugate is efficiently endocytosed and distributed throughout the 3D endo-lysosomal network of the cells, and has an excellent visibility both in fluorescence microscopy (FM) and EM. We demonstrate the use of fBSA-Au in several 2D and 3D CLEM applications using Tokuyasu cryosections, resin-embedded material, and cryo-EM. As a fiducial marker, fBSA-Au facilitates rapid registration of regions of interest between FM and EM modalities and enables accurate (50-150 nm) correlation of fluorescence to EM data. Endocytosed fBSA-Au benefits from a homogenous 3D distribution throughout the endosomal system within the cell, and does not obscure any cellular ultrastructure. The broad applicability and visibility in both modalities makes fBSA-Au an excellent endocytic fiducial marker for 2D and 3D (cryo-)CLEM applications.
