Electron Microscopy<br />

Clinical Information: Crucial diagnostic information for the study of human disease may be<br />

provided by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Often information of a confirmatory nature<br />

or of educational value to the clinician and pathologist can be obtained by this procedure. In recent<br />

years, the technology involved in electron microscopy has progressed to the point where methods have<br />

become standardized and the instrumentation routine. The electron microscope is a fundamental tool in<br />

medical diagnostic and cellular pathobiological investigations, because it is at this instrument's level of<br />

resolution that most structural correlations with function and metabolism are visible.<br />

Useful For: Tumor identification Diagnosing medical disorders such as storage diseases and Primary<br />

Ciliary Dyskinesia<br />

Interpretation: The images and case histories are correlated and interpreted by a pathologist who is<br />

an expert in the field of the suspected diagnoses. Representative images are provided upon request.<br />

Reference Values:<br />

An interpretive report will be provided.<br />
