What are the applications of electron microscopy in histology?
Electron microscopy (EM) provides ultrastructural details of cells and tissues at a much higher resolution than light microscopy. There are two main types of electron microscopy: transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). TEM is used to view thin sections of tissues and examine internal structures, while SEM provides three-dimensional images of tissue surfaces. EM is essential for studying cellular organelles and fine structural details.
