Electron microscopy

Electron microscopy

Electron microscopy allows visualisation of tissue at very high magnification, e.g. × 1000 to × 500 /uni00A0 000. It may help to decide the lineage of a non-neoplastic or neoplastic cell and may help to determine the nature of abnormal deposits, e.g. in renal disease. However, it is time-consuming, labour intensive and expensive and consequently has limited applications.
