Diagnostic Electron Microscopy

The attending pathologist will explain the operation of the electron microscopes and review cases with the student. Typical cases include anaplastic neoplasms, renal biopsies, brushings for ciliary fine structure and endomyocardial biopsies. In addition to the diagnostic cases, independent study of normal and/or abnormal tissues by the student is encouraged. The rotation also provides exposure to scanning electron microscopy with microprobe analysis.
